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.

San Jose Earthquakes Reportedly Nearing Deal For Germany, RB Leipzig Striker Timo Werner

Available off bench Werner (strain) is on the bench for Friday's game against Union Berlin.

Impact Werner will add depth to an attacking line that's missing Antonio Nusa (ankle) and Romulo (knee) due to injury. He'll wait for his chance off the bench, though, as Conrad Harder will get the nod at the striker role once again.

Back available Friday Werner (strain) is back available for Friday's clash against Union Berlin, coach Ole Werner said in the press conference.

Impact Werner missed all the games since late September and only logged in one minute of play this campaign, but the striker is back available for Friday's clash against Union Berlin after recovering from a muscle injury. His return is coming at a perfect moment since Romulo (knee) and Antonio Nusa (ankle) are sidelined with injuries, and his addition will be welcome to help the team in the frontline.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffering from muscle injury Werner is unavailable for the time being due to a muscle injury, according to his club.

Impact Werner will hit the sidelines for the club in their next few games, with the attacker suffering a strain that is enough to not play. Luckily for the club, this is mainly a loss in depth, with the attacker only appearing once off the bench all season. His return is pending, although he will likely need a week or two break to recover.
