Sebastian Schonlau - Involved in limited training Schonlau (hamstring) has taken part in light training drills as he continues to recover from his injury, per Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer.

Impact Schonlau will likely remain out for a few more games following a lengthy absence, having recorded just 25 minutes of play this year. However, the defender may be able to train fully at some point in upcoming weeks if he continues to make steady progress. Meanwhile, Mathias Laborda and Tristan Blackmon are expected to retain center-back spots.

Ryan Gauld - Increases workload Gauld (knee) took part in more than partial training during Monday's session, Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer reports.

Impact Gauld appears to be close to returning to normal work, though he has missed all MLS action in 2026 so far and may not see significant action before the World Cup break. The attacker will aim to add a solid option in the rotation for the final half of the season, eventually challenging Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly, Thomas Muller and Emmanuel Sabbi for playing time.

Thomas Muller - Back in partial training Muller (illness) did gym work and ran on the training pitch during Monday's practice, Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer reports.

Impact Muller will look to regain top shape ahead of the upcoming visit to Dallas after being left out of the previous two contests due to the illness. The experienced attacker is a key man for the Whitecaps and was in good form prior to his absence, notching two goals and one assist over his last four starts. Jeevan Singh Badwal has been covering his spot but will be at risk of dropping to a bench role as soon as Muller is fully healthy.

Bruno Caicedo - In starting XI Saturday Caicedo (illness) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's trip to San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Caicedo is healthy enough to see meaningful action after being sick during the week. This is his second start of the 2026 MLS campaign, coming after a string of solid performances during which he scored one goal and two assists over 159 minutes of play and took multiple shots in each of his five matches played. Emmanuel Sabbi is now set for reduced playing time if the Ecuadorian continues to feature in upcoming fixtures.

Thomas Muller - Out with illness Muller is listed as out for Saturday's match against San Jose due to illness, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Muller was looking unlikely to play Saturday due to an illness, and this will now keep him out, as the attacker is not fit enough to play. This is a second straight match he misses, a continued rough absence after four straight starts. Jeevan Singh Badwal is likely to start in his place once again.

Thomas Muller - Illness keeps him questionable Muller (illness) has not returned to the training pitch and remains questionable for Saturday's clash against San Jose Earthquakes, according to coach Jesper Sorensen, per Har Jour...

Impact Muller had already missed last weekend's fixture against LA Galaxy due to the illness, and his continued absence from training makes his involvement against San Jose far from certain. The club will make a final call after Friday's session before deciding whether he will travel with the squad, with Vancouver hoping the German veteran can recover in time to contribute after scoring four goals and adding one assist across nine MLS appearances this season.

Impact Adekugbe had been closing in on a return to MLS action after appearing for Vancouver's reserve side last weekend, but the new quad complaint adds another layer of caution to what has already been a lengthy road back from his Achilles injury. The Canadian international completed some individual running and shooting drills alongside teammates rather than full team training, and the club will continue to monitor his progress carefully before committing to any timeline for his return to competitive action.

Bruno Caicedo - Recovering from illness Caicedo has not worked with the team due to illness, Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer reports.

Impact Caicedo may be excluded from upcoming games if he fails to regain health, but he shouldn't miss a lengthy period. However, the winger has started in only one of his last five appearances, and Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly could continue to be selected on the left flank. Despite his limited playing time, the Ecuadorian has scored one goal plus two assists this campaign.
