Timo Werner - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Targeting end of month return Werner (hamstring) could be back in action either in late May or shortly after the World Cup, according to manager Bruce Arena, Favian Renkel of Kickbase MLS reports.

Impact Werner has made seven league appearances this season, contributing four goals and three assists, so his status is a major concern for the squad as he works on his rehabilitation from a muscle problem. The forward will be inactive for at least a couple more games, with Jack Skahan featuring on the left wing instead.

Hitting sidelines Werner is out for the time being due to a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Werner cleared the matchday 10 report after multiple weeks of questionable status, but has now returned with a lower-body designation and is listed as out rather than questionable, which is a step in the wrong direction. He was named MLS Player of the Month for April, making his return to the injury report a particularly frustrating development for his managers. No timetable has been given, and the club's cautious approach with him all month suggests they won't rush him back, likely leaving a starting role for Jack Skahan to fill.

Impact Werner had only recently returned to competitive action after managing a lower body issue earlier in the season, making this latest setback a frustrating development for San Jose.

His attacking chemistry with Niko Tsakiris and Bouda drove San Jose's second-half takeover, overwhelming LAFC and bringing an end to the club's best-ever start to an MLS season.

Returns with assist in US Open Cup Werner (lower body) played one half and contributed an assist in Wednesday's 2-0 US Open Cup win over Phoenix Rising, confirming he is back fit for San Jose, the club posted.

Impact Werner had been carrying a questionable tag for consecutive matchdays without featuring, making his return to competitive action a welcome development for the Earthquakes. The half-time appearance gives him a controlled reintroduction to action after the lower-body issue, and he should now push for a more prominent role in upcoming fixtures having added another assist to his tally this season.

Questionable again Werner is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Kansas City with a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Werner has now carried this questionable tag for consecutive matchdays without playing, which is a growing concern for one of MLS's higher-profile players this season. If he misses again, it raises the question of whether the lower-body issue is more serious than initially indicated. This continues his slow start to play with the club, only having started once in four appearances, although he does have two assists off the bench.

Questionable for Saturday Werner is questionable for Saturday's match against San Diego due to a lower-body injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Werner is facing a possible absence Saturday, as the German forward is suffering from a lower-body injury. This will be something to watch for the club, as they hope to have their star winter signing, having seen him start only once. Even if he is fit, they may be cautious and keep him in a bench role, having yet to score but with two assists.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

16 crosses in defeat Werner had one shot (zero on goal), 16 crosses (two accurate) and 10 corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Seattle Sounders FC.

This was his first start since joining the MLS, but he has provided two assists off the bench in the other two games he has played. Of the 16 crosses he has attempted, two were accurate, and 10 came from corners. In this game, he took his first shot for the club but couldn't hit the target.

Impact Werner came off the bench for the second time this year and recorded an assist in 45 minutes of playing time. Werner now has two goal contributions in his first two MLS appearances and should only earn more playing time as the season drags on. Look for him to come off the bench on Sunday versus Seattle.

On bench Saturday Werner (not injury related) is on the bench for the MLS week two fixture versus Atlanta United.

Impact Werner finalized his work visa paperwork during the week and is expected to make his Earthquakes debut as a substitute Saturday before earning a starting role over Preston Judd. The star forward will look to rack up shooting numbers as soon as he's on the pitch, and he should be the team's best attacking threat in a striker position.

Expected to play Saturday Werner did the necessary for his visa Tuesday in Berlin and is expected to be an option for Saturday's clash against Atlanta United, according to Leipziger Volkszeitung.

Impact Werner was unavailable for Saturday's season opener against Sporting Kansas City while waiting on his work visa, but that hurdle now appears to be cleared after the former Leipzig star finalized his paperwork in Berlin on Tuesday. With the off-field situation resolved, the new San Jose striker is trending toward making his debut and could log his first minutes for the club in Saturday's matchup against Atlanta United.

Still waiting for his visa Werner was forced to miss the opening match vs Sporting Kansas City as he awaits his working visa, reports Daniel Poulter of Poulter Talk Sports.

Impact Werner could not play Saturday as he still waits to gain his working visa. He signed from RB Leipzig in late January, expecting to be a huge plus in the attack, given his resume of playing for top European teams like Chelsea, Tottenham and Leipzig.

Out for opener Werner is out for the time being but is not injured, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Werner will not make the opening match this season despite his massive move to the club, with the attacker out due to a non-injury-related matter. He is likely still finding his legs with the team or traveling to the states, hopefully an option when they prepare for their next outing.
