Plays 15 minutes off bench Gidi (concussion) played 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to Philadelphia Union, the club posted.

Impact Gidi had missed the previous match against D.C. United due to concussion protocol after exiting the loss to Nashville SC with the issue, and this appearance off the bench now confirms he has cleared protocol. He has started in 18 of his 22 appearances this season, and his workload should continue to build as he works his way back to a regular role.

Out through concussion protocol Gidi (concussion protocol) is out for Saturday's game against D.C. United.

Impact Gidi exited the 4-0 loss to Nashville SC last week due to a concussion, so it makes sense to see him ruled out here. The midfielder, who has started in 18 of his 21 appearances this season, will aim to return when Cincy take on Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.

Protocol substitution Saturday Gidi left Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville under a concussion substitution in the second half.

Impact Gidi collided with an opposing player and was replaced by Kyle Smith, with the team taking no risks even though the midfielder stood up and abandoned the field unaided. Gidi will need to be assessed before being cleared to play, as the protocol could require him to be inactive for some days. He has been deployed as a center-back lately, so his absence would affect the team in defensive aspects.

Records first goal contribution Gidi assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Gidi registered his first goal contribution of the season with the pass that set up Pavel Bucha's opener, also leading his side in interceptions with three on the night. The versatile Slovak, who has been utilized across both midfield and center back, has started all of the last 11 games and been a model of consistency throughout, contributing 10 tackles, 23 interceptions, 28 clearances and 11 blocks defensively, though his individual efforts have done little to mask the team's persistent defensive struggles.

Joins late to team Gidi recorded seven starts in nine appearances (including the playoffs) during the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Gidi joined the team late from MSK Zilina, quickly earning a starting spot in midfield. In 662 minutes played, he tallied an assist, along with 18 tackles and 21 clearances. While he finished the season as a starter, the midfielder faces a challenge to retain his position due to strong depth at his position.

Assists winner Saturday Gidi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Columbus Crew.

Impact Gidi set up the series-winning goal Saturday as he assisted Brenner's strike in the 86th minute to take the late 2-1 lead. It marked his first goal contribution since joining Cincinnati in August and it could not have come at a better time. He started all three playoff matches against Columbus in midfield and completed the full 90 minutes in each, so he will likely be in the starting XI in the next round versus Inter Miami.

Joins Cincinnati Gidi has completed a transfer to Cincinnati from MSK Zilina, according to his new club.

Impact Gidi is making a switch from Europe to North America for the next stage in his career, with the 21-year-old signing a deal until 2028. He has already made over 100 appearances in his career over his four seasons with Zilina, scoring nine goals and eight assists. He will now likely need to work into a role at such a young age, but will likely be a part of the team in the future.
