BREAKING: Vancouver Whitecaps Receives Devastating injury news
Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s strong start to the 2025 MLS season and their promising Concacaf Champions Cup campaign took a potential blow when captain Ryan Gauld was forced to leave the field due to injury during Saturday’s 2-0 victory over CF Montréal.
In the 19th minute, Gauld, while leaping for a ball cleared by Montréal’s Aleksandr Guboglo, suddenly collapsed without any contact. As the crowd at BC Place went quiet, the Whitecaps’ star Designated Player was replaced by J.C. Ngando, appearing to suffer a knee injury.
Despite Gauld’s absence, Vancouver continued their perfect start, moving to 3W-0L-0D for the first time in club history with goals from Mathías Laborda and Tate Johnson.
However, Gauld, with 34 goals and 43 assists in 111 MLS appearances, would leave a significant gap if he misses Wednesday’s Concacaf Champions Cup Round-of-16 Leg 2 against CF Monterrey. The aggregate score is tied 1-1, with the crucial match set for Estadio Corona in Torreón, Mexico.
