Ryan Gauld

Gauld (knee) is still in his rehabilitation process and should return this season, coach Jesper Sorensen said in a press conference, according to Har Journalist. "You can go out in the gym and see him training. But I don't think that's what you're asking. I wish I could say when the pain is off and he has the right feeling. We will also be cautious with Ryan because what we don't want is a setback for him. We want to build him up. The amount of time he's been out, he will need a preseason to get back into shape. The most important thing is that we get a strong Ryan back. It's not how fast we get him back, it's when he's back that he's strong, and has the quality that we all know he has. No, he's not ruled out for the season and I will not expect him to be out for the season. We hope that he'll be back sooner than later, but we've said that many times. I can't say anything really decisive about it."

Gauld (knee) is progressing well but slowly in his recovery from injury but still can't play, coach Jesper Sorensen said to the media, according to Har Journalist. "He's doing fine, apart from he can not play, so that's of course a bad thing. I can't really say anything clever about Ryan right now. We hope that he will progress step by step and it won't take too long."

Gauld (knee) is still working individually indoors as part of his rehabilitation and has yet to resume team training, coach Jesper Sorensen said in a press conference, according to Canadian Soccer Daily. "There's not much news. I think we have to wait and see and when you see him out on the pitch then that'll be the good news. He is not there right now. We just have to wait, it's very difficult for us to say something that will give details about when he'll return. It's difficult."

Gauld (knee) has only been working in the gym as he continues to be left off training and will not likely be an option for the CONCACAF Champions Cup Final against Cruz Azul. According to head coach Jesper Sorensen, "There's nothing to have surgery upon as far as I know. We have of course discussed all the time what we can do with him and of course the health department is doing everything they can" per Har Journalist of the Daily Hive Vancouver.

Gauld (knee) is out for Saturday's trip to Austin, per the MLS injury report.
