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.

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.

Completes MLS move Werner has left RB Leipzig to join San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS, his former club announced Thursday.

Impact Werner struggled to get things going and was limited to just 13 minutes off the bench across three Bundesliga appearances in 2025-26. He should be a regular starter for San Jose right away, as he joins the club as a Designated Player, and this seems like the perfect opportunity for Werner to get his career back on track. He hasn't scored a goal in a competitive match since the 2023/24 season when he was playing for Tottenham Hotspur. Werner's deal with the Earthquakes goes until the end of the 2027/28 MLS season.
