Andre Gomes
32-Year-Old
Columbus Crew
MLS
GTD
Injury Calf
Est. Return 5/10/2026
Won't face Philadelphia
Gomes will be given more time to recover from a calf issue, with coach Henrik Rydstrom commenting that he doesn't want to risk the player suffering a bigger injury, Brianna Mac Kay of the Columbus Dispatch reports.
ANALYSIS
Gomes is set for a longer absence, and it's unclear exactly how many more weeks he'll miss after being left out of the previous match against LA Galaxy. The midfielder had been a major participant in the team's possessions while racking up diverse output in the five MLS games he played after transferring from French side Lille. All of Dylan Chambost, Taha Habroune and perhaps Sekou Bangoura could be active in the central midfield rotation until the Portuguese is ready to return.

Dealing with back pain
Gomes is dealing with back pain and was not feeling fully healthy for Sunday's clash against Marseille, which explains why he stayed on the bench and did not start for the first time in the last six games, according to coach Bruno Genesio in a press conference. "Andre has been feeling pain in his back and sciatic nerve for a few days. He was very honest with me and told me he wasn't 100%."
