Lionel Messi Headlines 29 Players In MLS vs. LIGA MX All-Star Game

Cristian Roldan - Out against Belgium Roldan (strain) remains sidelined for the World Cup round of 16 matchup versus Belgium.

Impact Roldan will miss another game after being involved only in individual training prior to the match. At this rate, the midfielder is far from making his World Cup debut in the 2026 competition, given that he would be a depth option even at full fitness. Still, his absence limits the backup quality behind the main starters Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams.

Cristian Roldan - Still limited to solo training Roldan (strain) is progressing from his injury but was spotted in individual training Friday, according to Doug McIntyre of FOX Sports.

Impact Roldan hasn't played for the USMNT at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and has missed the last two matches due to injury. The Sounders midfielder might be trending in the right direction, but all signs point to him being sidelined for Monday's matchup against Belgium with only three days left before kickoff.

Cristian Roldan - Remains out Roldan (strain) is out for Wednesday's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Roldan will have to wait for his spot on the team sheet again, as the midfielder remains out injured for a second straight match. This is unlikely to change much either way, as he was unlikely to see much of the field moving forward, having yet to earn a minute this World Cup.

Cristian Roldan - Expected to sit out Wednesday Roldan (strain) could remain sidelined against Bosnia-Herzegovina, as USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino said "It's going to be difficult" when giving an update on his injury Tuesday,...

Impact Roldan is not yet at 100 percent physically despite returning to limited training in recent days, and his hopes of making his World Cup debut are fading away for the time being, although he may still have a chance to play in future rounds if the United States progress further in the competition. The midfielder has served as a backup asset behind Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and Sebastian Berhalter, all of whom should remain the primary contenders for starting spots in upcoming rounds.

Cristian Roldan - Returns to modified training Roldan (strain) has returned to partial field work as part of his recovery, combining pitch sessions with gym work ahead of Wednesday's round of 16 clash against Bosnia and Herzego...

Impact Roldan has yet to play a minute at the tournament and his progression to modified training is an encouraging development after missing the previous match entirely. His availability for Wednesday remains day-to-day, though even if cleared his involvement from the bench appears unlikely given his lack of match sharpness throughout the competition.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Roldan - Remains out of training Roldan (strain) is out of training Sunday ahead of Wednesday's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to Steven Goff of Yahoo Sports.

Impact Roldan is still dealing with a strain after missing the team's last match and has yet to see much progress, as the midfielder has yet to rejoin training. It leaves him as day-to-day, potentially getting back into training and joining the team ahead of Wednesday. Either way, he has yet to play a minute this World Cup and will be unlikely to feature from the bench if fit.

Cristian Roldan - Out Thursday Roldan (strain) is out for Thursday's match against Turkiye.

Impact Roldan is not going to make the team sheet Thursday after some issues with a strain, appearing to have failed his late testing. This is a major blow to the midfielder, as this was likely one of his better opportunities to earn time at the 2026 World Cup. That said, much time is unlikely to come his way in the knockouts once fit, possibly leaving the World Cup without playing a minute.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Roldan - Late call to face Turkiye Roldan (strain) is a late call and set to be "assessed" ahead of Thursday's match against Turkiye, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino, per Peter Rutzler of The Times Sport.

Impact Roldan will need to be tested by the medical team as the USA enters its group stage finale, with the midfielder remaining day-to-day with his strain. This is something to watch with the team likely to rotate, as it could leave them with one less option in the holding part of the midfield. With Tyler Adams on a yellow and unlikely to play, Sebastian Berhalter will likely start as Roldan waits for time on the bench if he is deemed fit, one of the few times Roldan could earn time this tournament.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Roldan - Day-to-day with muscle strain Roldan is day-to-day due to a muscle strain, according to Laken Litman of Fox Sports.

Impact Roldan looks to be in question for the USA's upcoming group stage finale, as the midfielder has been dealt a muscle strain. He has yet to play a minute this World Cup, but with some rotation expected next match, this could be a decent loss of depth for the team. They will be unlikely to want to risk Tyler Adams on a yellow card, so Roldan could've been set for some minutes in the holding portion of the midfield, potentially leaving Sebastian Berhalter to see more time on the pitch.

Andrew Thomas - Two saves in loss Thomas made two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Thomas made two saves in Sunday's 1-0 loss against LAFC, finally getting beaten in the 86th minute when Timothy Tillman snuck in at the back post to finish off Tyler Boyd's cross. He had been solid between the pipes up to that point but couldn't keep out the late winner. The keeper now sits on five clean sheets in 13 MLS appearances this season, firmly holding down the No. 1 role for Seattle after taking over from Stefan Frei under manager Brian Schmetzer.

Danny Musovski - On bench Sunday Musovski (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's game versus Los Angeles FC.

Impact Musovski left his previous appearance in the 12th minute after sustaining a knock, and while it wasn't serious enough to sideline him, he'll see his playing time managed in the week 15 matchup. The striker has had a slow start to the year, recording one goal across 11 league outings. Both Albert Rusnak and Jordan Morris could see their involvement affected as soon as Musovski is back on the pitch.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Roldan - On bench against LAFC Roldan (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Los Angeles FC.

Impact Roldan is available after a short absence, having made a gradual return to practice over the last week. The versatile man is not ready to start, but he could generate some passes and defensive numbers if given some time on the field. In that case, he might replace Kim Kee-Hee at center-back, where he has been deployed for most of the 2026 season.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Arriola - Dealing with adductor concern Arriola could miss upcoming action due to an adductor muscle problem, the MLS reported Saturday.

Impact Arriola is a doubt heading into the World Cup break, with the severity of his issue still unknown. He made his third start of the season and played 61 minutes during the last league match on May 17, and his potential absence would force the team to a change on the left wing. In that case, Paul Rothrock will likely bounce back to a major role.

Alex Roldan - Doing individual work Roldan (hamstring) took part in limited practice apart from the rest of the team Wednesday, Niko Moreno of Pulso Sports reports.

Impact Roldan is still unlikely to start as he needs to resume full training before being ready for significant action. The versatile player will have better chances of featuring after the World Cup break, potentially regaining a center-back spot over Antino Lopez, Kim Kee-Hee and Stuart Hawkins. Prior to his absence on May 17 due to the injury, Roldan had operated as a defensive contributor over the initial stretch of the season.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Arriola - Sends four crosses in defeat Arriola had two shots (one on goal) and four crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Arriola wasn't particularly accurate with the end product, but in a game where the Sounders didn't do much offensively, the winger was one of their standout players. Arriola has been limited to just three starts in the current MLS campaign, but if he stays healthy, he should see more playing time after the 2026 FIFA World Cup break.
