On bench Saturday Werner (lower body) is among the substitutes for Saturday's meeting with Los Angeles FC.

Impact Werner could see minutes in this game after being forced to sit out the last month of action while recovering from a lower body problem. While he's not ready for a lengthy outing yet, his return to the match squad is excellent news for a side that now sees it's offensive power greatly strengthened with both Werner and Preston Judd recovered from their respective injuries. The star attacker will push for a significant role on the left wing or in a central spot in place of either Niko Tsakiris or Ronaldo Vieira and will likely take set pieces away from Tsakiris.

Facing injury absence Werner (lower body) won't be an option for Saturday's match against Houston Dynamo, with his lower body issue confirmed by the MLS on Friday.

Impact Werner had scored two goals and one assist across five MLS appearances (four starts) since recovering from an earlier injury. However, he's now heading back to the sidelines, and there's uncertainty about when he'll return to action. This is a discouraging development for a club that was counting on him to drive the attack down the stretch of the regular season. San Jose's ability to threaten in behind and generate through a high press is significantly diminished without their most dynamic forward. Darius Johnson, who replaced Werner in the last match, is also dealing with a lower body injury, so Jack Skahan might provide cover in the short term, unless new signing Eduard Lowen is immediately deployed in an advanced role.

Returns from hamstring injury Werner returned to action in Friday's 2-1 friendly loss against Tijuana, marking his comeback from the hamstring injury that had kept him sidelined since May, the club posted.

Impact Werner had been targeting a return either in late May or shortly after the World Cup, and his appearance in the friendly is an encouraging step in his recovery. The forward had contributed four goals and three assists across seven league appearances before the injury, and his return gives coach Bruce Arena an important attacking option back in contention.

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.

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.
