Simon Becher - Signs new contract Becher has signed a new contract with St. Louis City SC until the end of the 2027/28 MLS season on Thursday. The deal also includes an option for the 2028/29 campaign.

Impact Becher opened his 2025 MLS campaign with an assist and had five goal contributions in 32 outings during the previous season. He figures to have a big role in the attack for years to come.

Chris Durkin - Signs extension Durkin has inked an extension with St. Louis, according to his club.

Impact Durkin is extending his ties with St. Louis for a few more seasons, signing an extension through the 2028/29 season. This comes after he started in 14 of his 18 appearances last season, seeing decent time between the injuries he suffered. He should maintain a starting role after the extension, starting in the opening match of the season.

Roman Burki - Beaten once in draw Burki had two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Charlotte FC.

Impact Burki was beaten late in the second half on a clever finish from Pep Biel, but there wasn't much he could have done on that goal. The goalkeeper will have a tough matchup in Week 2 when facing San Diego on the road on Sunday, March 1.

Rafael Santos - Active as crossing threat in draw Santos registered three shots (two on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Charlotte FC.

Impact Santos was one of the best players for St. Louis City SC, and even though the end product was lacking at times, his crossing ability posed several problems for the opposing defense. Santos should be a reliable two-way contributor for St. Louis, but his crossing ability gives him a bump on the attack due to his eligibility as a defender.

Marcel Hartel - Breaks deadlock Saturday Hartel scored one goal to go with four shots (four on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Charlotte FC.

Impact Hartel took advantage of a great through ball from Simon Becher to open the scoring for St. Louis City, and his comfortable finish past Kristijan Kahlina gave the team a lead they wouldn't be able to hold. Hartel bagged nine goals and three assists in 2025, and he's started the new season on a strong note. He figures to play a big role for St. Louis City SC in 2025.

Simon Becher - Credited with clever assist Becher assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Charlotte FC.

Impact Becher delivered the first assist of the 2026 MLS season with a no-look through ball that allowed Marcel Hartel to fire a comfortable finish past Kristijan Kahlina. Becher had five goals contributions in 32 appearances in the 2025 season, so he certainly started the new campaign on a strong note.

Sergio Cordova - Loaned to St. Louis Cordova has joined St. Louis City on loan from Swiss club Young Boys through June 30, 2026 with a purchase option.

Impact Cordova adds an attacking asset to his new squad for the 2026 season after spending some time in Europe. His most recent numbers include two goals and three assists across 21 games played (eight starts) in the Swiss league. During a previous stint in MLS, the striker scored twice in 19 appearances for Vancouver in 2023 while averaging 1.0 shots (0.5 on target) in 44.0 minutes played per game in that period. He'll be in contention with Simon Becher for the center-forward spot in St. Louis' lineup.

Fallou Fall - Still working on side Fall (leg) continues to train alone on the side for Cincinnati, reports Matthew Rocchio of STL Sports Central.

Impact Fall did not play in the first match vs Charlotte as he continues to recover from a leg injury. He continues to train individually, with a return against San Diego on March 1 seemingly unlikely. Signing in late 2025, the defender has made eight MLS appearances with the side, assisting once with 39 clearances.

Chris Durkin - Makes starting XI Durkin (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Charlotte FC.

Impact Durkin is in the starting XI for Saturday's 2026 season opener against Charlotte FC after recovering from illness. The midfielder earns the nod in defensive midfield alongside Daniel Edelman with Eduard Lowen unavailable. He finished the previous campaign strongly, starting six straight matches while registering six shots, five chances created and 16 clearances.

Mamadou Fall - Not on injury list Mbacke is not on the injury list for Saturday's match against Charlotte.

Impact Mbacke looks to be making his debut with St. Louis on Saturday, as the defender is not on the injury list after he was absent from training a few weeks ago. He is expected to be a starter to begin the season, so this is a major addition for the club.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Eduard Lowen - Not training due to personal issue Lowen didn't work with the team in Thursday's practice because of personal reasons, but coach Yoann Damet said he's not ruled out for the opening match against Charlotte, Tom Timme...

Impact Lowen will aim to return for the last few training sessions ahead of the first MLS weekend of 2026. In that case, the midfielder could see significant playing time and perhaps take some set pieces. Last season, he scored six goals and three assists over 19 games played (16 starts).

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Durkin - Misses practice, not ruled out Durkin was not involved in Thursday's training session due to illness but could be back in time for Saturday's clash against Charlotte, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatc...

Impact Durkin could see minutes as a substitute if he regains enough health to feature in the 2026 season opener. However, both Eduard Lowen and Daniel Edelman currently have better chances of starting in defensive midfield. Durkin closed the previous campaign on a six-game starting streak, racking up six shots, five chances created and 16 clearances during that span.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Mamadou Fall - Not with team Mbacke is not with his team for the opening training ahead of Saturday's season opener, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Dispatch.

Impact Mbacke just signed with St. Louis a few weeks ago and is now questionable for the season opener, as he did not report to the opening training. Little is known about the situation, as he may be facing a visa issue and is still finalizing his move to the club. However, that remains unknown, as well as his status for Saturday, a bit concerning when he was viewed to be a starter to begin the season.

Mamadou Fall - Signs with St. Louis City Fall has completed a permanent move from Barcelona to St. Louis City and signed through June 2028, with club options for 2028-2029 and 2029-2030 seasons, his new club announced. "W...

Impact Fall developed at Montverde Academy in Florida before signing with Los Angeles FC in 2021, making his MLS debut at 18 under coach Bob Bradley and recording six goals in 42 appearances across all competitions. He moved to Villarreal in 2022, splitting time between the first and second teams and making his La Liga debut in a win over Girona in January 2023, then joined FC Barcelona Atletic on loan before completing a permanent transfer to FC Barcelona in 2024. Internationally, he has represented Senegal at youth level, including call-ups with the U-17 squad. Fall now joins St. Louis City ahead of the 2026 MLS season and is expected to play a decent role for the club.

Lukas MacNaughton - Inks deal with St. Louis MacNaughton has signed a deal with St. Louis out of free agency, according to his new club.

Impact MacNaughton is back in MLS play for another season, inking a deal with St. Louis to keep him around until June 2027, with an option for a further season. He would struggle with injuries last campaign, but did feature in 11 games (nine starts) with D.C., proving the veteran still has the game to play at this level. With the club looking for answers after last season and a few defenders exiting house, MacNaughton could push for starting time.

Cedric Teuchert - Features in friendly Teuchert (lower body) featured in Wednesday's pre-season friendly against Portland, the club posted.

Impact Teuchert appears to have put his lower body issues behind him after featuring in Wednesday's pre-season friendly against Portland and looking fit. This is encouraging news for St. Louis, as it allows him to build momentum and sharpen his match fitness ahead of the 2026 MLS season, where he is expected to work his way back into a meaningful role in the frontline.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Dante Polvara - Signs with St. Louis City SC Polvara has completed a permanent transfer from Aberdeen to St. Louis City SC, his new club announced Friday.

Impact Polvara will add depth to St. Louis City's defense due to his ability to play multiple positions. He made his professional debut with Aberdeen in 2022 and spent several years with the club, tallying six goals and seven assists in 93 appearances for the Dons.

Rafael Santos - Heading to St. Louis Santos has completed a move to St. Louis City after concluding his time in Colorado Rapids, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Santos spent a short period at Colorado in 2025, but his offensive impact earned him a goal and two assists over his last seven MLS appearances. He also has previous experience with Orlando City, standing out as an offensive-minded left-back and an occasional corner-kick taker. He'll look to earn a spot in his new team's lineup, with his inclusion potentially affecting Devin Padelford's and Conrad Wallem's involvement.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Cedric Teuchert - Limited due to load management Teuchert (lower body) was limited to inside gym work during preseason training on Jan 12, reports Matt Baker of The Big 550 KTRS.

Impact Teuchert is still dealing with his lower body injury that saw him miss the final two months of the 2025 season. He is still not training with the team and did not feature in the team's first preseason match Saturday vs RBNY. This will put him as a big doubt to be fit for the start of the 2026 campaign, pending his evolution.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Fallou Fall - Recovering from leg injury Fall is expected to spend the offseason period working on his recovery from a leg issue, with coach Yoann Damet saying "you won't see too much of them in preseason.", Tom Timmerman...

Impact Fall still has some time to be ready for the 2026 MLS opener on Feb. 21, but he might be out of shape if he doesn't play in friendly games. He finished the previous campaign with six shots, five chances created, 39 clearances and nine interceptions over eight matches played. If the youngster remains unavailable, the team's current center-back assets are Timo Baumgartl, Joshua Yaro and Kyle Hiebert.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Ostrak - Will be reserved in preseason Ostrak is dealing with a leg injury and has been mentioned by coach Yoann Damet "you won't see too much of them in preseason.", Tom Timmermann of the St. Loius Post-Dispatch report...

Impact Ostrak may be excluded from the squad for most of the preseason and the start of the 2026 MLS season. Such event would weaken the squad's midfield depth, although he had not played a great role at the end of last year. Thus, elements like Marcel Hartel and Eduard Lowen should remain the top options in the central zone.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Conrad Wallem - Transferred permanently Wallem was transferred permanently to St. Louis City SC, his former club announced.

Impact Wallem spent the 2025 MLS season on loan with St. Louis City SC from Slavia Prague and is now joining the club permanently. The midfielder made 32 appearances last campaign, scoring one and providing two assits to go with 37 chances created and 64 crosses. Wallem is expected to hold a similar role heading into the 2026 MLS season.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Edelman - Traded to St. Louis Edelman has been traded to St. Louis from the New York Red Bulls, according to his new club.

Impact Edelman is moving cities but remaining in the MLS, with the midfielder sent to St. Louis. He started in 25 of his 26 appearances last campaign, recording one goal but no assists. He is likely to enlist himself in the starting XI almost immediately with St. Louis, a major addition for the club.
