Ryan Gauld
29-Year-Old
Vancouver Whitecaps FC
MLS
GTD
Injury Knee
Est. Return 10/18/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gauld put together perhaps the single-best season of his career in 2024, scoring 15 times and adding 12 assists while leading Vancouver to the playoffs yet again. The striker is at the heart of everything going forward for the Whitecaps, with his ability to play anywhere across the front three invaluable. He's showing no signs of slowing down and with Stuart Armstrong integrating into the team, the entire Vancouver attack could be in for a bump in 2025. If Gauld can take that next step, he has the potential to be one of the best attackers in MLS, and perhaps even an MVP candidate.
Should go Saturday
Gauld (knee) is expected to play Saturday, per manager Jesper Sorensen."Ryan, we're still pre-cautious with his knee and it was a tough game for him. He twisted something around our first goal. He should be ready to go on the pitch and be ready for Saturday."
ANALYSIS
Gauld suffered a minor issue during a clash with Orlando City, but it's not expected to be a serious concern. The forward should be good to go for Saturday's clash and should be straight back in the team. Injuries have hampered Gauld to just five appearances this season, limiting his output to a pair of goal contributions.

Nearing return
Gauld (knee) is training fully with the team and nearing a return but the game against Portland comes too soon for him, coach Jesper Sorensen said in a press conference, according to Har Johal from Daily Hive. "Ryan is now in a period where we train him. He does everything in training, but he also has to be sustainable and then we also have to build on top of that. He has to face physical things because he's been out for so long, but it won't be long until we can see him in the roster as well and it'll be great."
