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.
Hitting sidelines
Werner is out for the time being due to a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Werner cleared the matchday 10 report after multiple weeks of questionable status, but has now returned with a lower-body designation and is listed as out rather than questionable, which is a step in the wrong direction. He was named MLS Player of the Month for April, making his return to the injury report a particularly frustrating development for his managers. No timetable has been given, and the club's cautious approach with him all month suggests they won't rush him back, likely leaving a starting role for Jack Skahan to fill.
