Remains in protocol Trapp remains in concussion protocol, though he was out running during Tuesday's training session, according to Minnesota United beat writer Jon Marthaler.

Impact Trapp is making some progress as he was able to run on the grass, but he's yet to join team training, which is a needed step for his return to action. As things stand now, it's unclear whether Trapp will recover in time to play for the Loons before the regular-season finale at home against San Jose on Nov. 7.

Lands in concussion protocol Trapp is sidelined for an undefined period due to concussion protocol, per the latest MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Trapp's return depends on clearing each stage of the league's concussion protocol, so Minnesota will likely have no clear answer on his availability until he is symptom-free. The previously ever-present defensive midfielder was averaging 34.4 accurate passes, 2.8 balls recovered and 1.3 tackles per game during the 2026 MLS season. Carlos Harvey and Nectarios Triantis could be the first candidates to join Owen Gene in holding midfield.

On bench Saturday Trapp (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's trip to San Diego.

Impact Trapp will look to play as a substitute in this game before regaining a starting spot in place of either Owen Gene or Nectarios Triantis. The experienced midfielder has been valuable mainly for passing and defensive production, averaging 38.0 accurate passes, 2.8 balls recovered and 1.8 tackles per game in the 2026 campaign.

Back in training Trapp (illness) resumed practice Tuesday after sitting out the last game, Andy Greder of Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Trapp made five consecutive starts as a central midfielder before his recent absence, so he might soon reclaim the spot from Owen Gene. The 33-year-old will likely offer a defensive asset as soon as he's ready to play, looking to improve on his season averages of 38.0 accurate passes, 2.8 balls recovered and 1.8 tackles per game.

Dealing with illness Trapp is questionable for Saturday's match against the LA Galaxy due to an illness, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Trapp needs to take some time ahead of Saturday's match and assess his health, as the midfielder is dealing with an illness. His inclusion in the squad will likely be decided based on how he feels in the morning, a true game-time decision. This could mean the loss of a regular starter, leaving Bongokuhle Hlongwane as a potential replacement.

Logs assist in draw Trapp made an assist and made two tackles (both won) and one interception during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Portland.

Impact Trapp isn't much of a stat-stuffer and this game wasn't being the exception. However, in the 85th minute the midfielder made a huge contribution, assisting Robin Lod for the goal that sealed the 1-1 draw. This was the first assist of the year for Trapp, who showed some playmaking upside in some games but still needs better overall numbers to be considered a viable fantasy pick.

Impact Trapp popped up with a goal from holding midfield during a disappointing loss Sunday. Vancouver were always going to be hard to beat, but Minnesota failing to ever get in the game will be frustrating. Trapp produced a nice showing, though he's not likely to be a consistent offensive contributor.

Loons' Wil Trapp says Hassani Dotson's trade request has not been a distraction Trapp shared his own story of wanting to leave Columbus Crew.

FEBRUARY 19, 2025 • TWINCITIES.COM

Staying with Loons Trapp has signed a one-year contract with Minnesota, according to the club.

Impact Trapp will remain with Minnesota for yet another season, with the club deciding to give the midfielder a one-year deal after weeks of negotiations. He started in 29 of his 30 appearances last season, finishing his fourth straight season as a regular starter for the Loons while notching one goal and an assist. That said, he sees most of his time on the defensive side of the pitch, so despite the heaps of minutes he receives, he isn't of the highest value due to his low goal contribution count.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still negotiating Trapp remains in contract negotiations with Minnesota, the club announced.

Impact Trapp was on the list of players declined for 2025 by Minnesota, but unsurprisingly, the club still has interest in bringing him back. The midfielder made 30 appearances in 2024, scoring and assisting once. He's a rock-solid presence in holding midfield and if he can agree a new deal he'll be in line for major minutes.
