Yeimar Gomez Andrade - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Fully training Gomez (rest) was fully training with the team Tuesday ahead of Saturday's trip to Philadelphia, reports Jeremiah Oshan of the Sounder at Heart.

Impact Gomez is expected to be good to go after dealing with lack of fitness to open up the season. He will likely compete for a spot in the starting XI with Nathan and Jackson Ragen after making 36 starts in 37 appearances in 2023.

Recovering fitness Yeimar (rest) won't be available for Saturday's clash with Austin, manager Brian Schmetzer told reporters.

Impact Yeimar missed the opener while working on getting his visa sorted, and is now building fitness with the team. The defender is a crucial part of the backline but Nathan has been a passable option as a replacement while Yeimar works on getting fully fit.

Out yet again Yeimar (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash with Austin, according to manager Brian Schmetzer.

Impact Yeimar is set to miss a second match in a row, originally it was reported as visa issues though Yeimar has been spotted with the team. It's not clear if there's also an injury concern, but either way it will be Nathan who gets a start for a second match in a row.

Out against LAFC Gomez (not injury related) is out for Saturday's match against LAFC.

Impact Gomez will have to sit out the season opener as he deals with visa-related issues despite being with the team for some time. He will now hope to have those problems resolved by next weekend to face Austin FC on Saturday, as he looks to be in line to earn a starting spot once healthy.

Could miss season opener Gomez (not injury related) might miss the season opener against Los Angeles FC on Saturday, Jeremiah Oshan of Sounder at Heart reports.

Impact Gomez didn't train at full due to visa-related issues, and although he's been with the team since they returned to Longacres, it's worth noting the defender has been doing exercises off to the side. With that in mind, it wouldn't be surprising if Gomez misses the season opener, with Nathan presumably starting at center-back alongside Jackson Regen.

Back in training Yeimar (undisclosed) returned to training Thursday, Seattle announced.

Impact Yeimar didn't travel for pre-season due to a nagging injury but he did get back in training a week ahead of the regular season kick off. The defender is a rock in the backline and a crucial piece of the starting XI when fit, coming off an excellent season in which he made 37 appearances (36 starts.)

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Being evaluated Yeimar (undisclosed) remained in Seattle for evaluation, manager Brian Schmetzer told reporters Thursday.

Impact Yeimar will have some doubts about getting back on the pitch for the opening match of the regular season, though that will come down to the injury he has. The defender was an absolutely crucial part of the starting XI in 2023, starting 36 matches and playing a career-high 3,246 minutes, making him a major loss if absent. Jackson Ragen (knee) is training with the club in Spain and could get the start in the season opener if Yeimar can't play.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets goal for both teams Yeimar Gomez scored one goal to go with an own goal and two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United.

Impact Gomez had a very unusual match Saturday, scoring the opening goal of the game to put Seattle in the lead while also scoring an own goal to level the match. The 31-year-old was unfortunate to score the own goal but did very well in the game despite that blunder, notching two shots (one on target), one tackle (one won) and six clearances to go along with his goal. The defender has only missed one start all season and should remain a starter for the rest of the year.
