Out until after World Cup
Klauss (foot) will undergo surgery on a foot ligament and is out until after the World Cup, according to coach Greg Vanney, per Corner Of The Galaxy.
Analysis: Klauss had been one of the more impactful forwards in the attack before the injury, bringing energy on both sides of the ball and developing a consistent goal-scoring touch. The club believes the surgical route will speed up the healing process and provide better long-term protection for the foot. His absence is compounded by the fact that Matheus Nascimento is also unavailable, leaving the Galaxy with limited options at striker. Marco Reus figures to be among the options to fill in up front while Klauss works through his recovery.
Out with foot injury
Klauss is out for the time being due to a foot injury, per the MLS Player Status Report
Analysis: Klauss is suffering from a foot injury after an early exit in the last contest, and his absence is notable given that the Galaxy is already without Matheus Nascimento. A foot injury on a striker is inherently concerning, given how directly it affects their ability to run, shoot and hold up play. His timeline is unknown, and fantasy managers should treat him as out until further notice, leaving Marco Reus to likely start at forward in the coming games.
