What happened: Kenji Cabrera has undergone a successful procedure to repair a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot. He is now beginning his recovery with the aim of returning to the pitch.

Why it matters: A fifth metatarsal fracture is a significant lower-body injury that typically requires surgical fixation and an extended rehabilitation before a player can resume competitive minutes. Cabrera's absence removes an attacking option during the heart of the 2026 MLS regular season.

What to watch: Watch for an updated recovery timeline and the point at which Cabrera resumes full training and match fitness.
