OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 5/23/2026
Targeting end of month return
Werner (hamstring) could be back in action either in late May or shortly after the World Cup, according to manager Bruce Arena, Favian Renkel of Kickbase MLS reports.
ANALYSIS
Werner has made seven league appearances this season, contributing four goals and three assists, so his status is a major concern for the squad as he works on his rehabilitation from a muscle problem. The forward will be inactive for at least a couple more games, with Jack Skahan featuring on the left wing instead.

Heading to MLS?
Werner could move to MLS and join New York Red Bulls, according to Tom Bogert of GiveMeSport.
ANALYSIS
The Red Bulls need an attacking boost for the second half of the 2025 MLS season, and they could use the services of the German international. Talks are ongoing but nothing imminent just yet. This move would also reunite Werner with former RB Leipzig teammate and partner in crime, Emil Forsberg.
