Timo Werner - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Avoids absence Werner (lower body) is in the starting XI for Saturday's duel versus FC Dallas.

Impact Werner was questionable until the final days before this game, so his presence from kickoff is a great relief for San Jose's front line. The experienced attacker will operate as a finishing threat while holding creative upside from both open play and set pieces. Those duties should give him decent chances of ending a four-game unproductive streak in terms of goals and assists even against a strong opposition. His inclusion leaves Luka Jovanovic as a backup option going forward.

Fitness question before Dallas trip Werner is questionable for Saturday's trip to FC Dallas as he deals with a lower body knock, per the league's injury report.

Impact Werner was subbed off in the 67th minute of last weekend's draw with Nashville and presumably picked up the problem after that appearance. Even though he has gone five straight games without a goal dating back to August, the forward is a key member of the Earthquakes' attacking unit. San Jose clinched a playoff spot with that last draw, so they likely won't want to take any risks of Werner worsening the injury in regular season. If he's not fit enough, his spot could be covered by Luka Jovanovic at least until Preston Judd is back from suspension.

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.
