Officially listed as questionable
Lozano (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against LAFC.
Analysis: Lozano was deemed as unlikely to be available for Sunday's derby, but the questionable tag on the official injury report leaves the door open for a potential return to action. A final call on the Mexican's status will be made Sunday before the 9 p.m. ET kickoff.
Likely out Sunday
Lozano (hamstring) is not expected to appear in Sunday's derby against LAFC, with manager Greg Vanney saying his return is more viable in the Oct. 31 clash with Austin, per Alex Ruiz of The Galactic Tribune.
Analysis: Lozano was believed to have a chance of playing in El Trafico, but he now appears to require an additional week to recover. The talented forward has played eight MLS matches (six starts) since joining the Galaxy, posting one goal and one assist before suffering the injury in September. Joseph Paintsil and Robert Taylor are the likeliest options to flank Joao Klauss in the front line until the Mexican is cleared to play.
Could return for El Trafico
Lozano (hamstring) could be ready to return for the Oct. 25 clash against LAFC as he continues recovering from an injury sustained during international duty with Mexico, according to Damian Calhoun of the Daily Breeze.
Analysis: Lozano suffered a hamstring injury while representing Mexico during the international break, forcing him to leave the national team camp early. Coach Greg Vanney initially indicated the winger would miss a couple of weeks, but the latest update suggests he could recover in time for the Oct. 25 matchup against LAFC. His potential return would provide LA Galaxy with an important attacking option during the final stretch of the MLS regular season. However, Lozano's availability will depend on his progress in rehabilitation, and he remains without a confirmed return date.
Will miss several weeks
Lozano is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury suffered while on international duty with Mexico, according to head coach Greg Vanney per LA Galaxy beat writer Alex Ruiz.
Analysis: Lozano had already left the Mexico NT camp during the break because of the injury, and now the winger will be forced to miss several matches in the stretch run of the 2026 MLS regular season. It remains to be seen whether Lozano will be able to return to action before the end of the campaign, as the MLS regular season ends Nov. 7.
Set for MRI results
Lozano (hamstring) is back in Los Angeles and will be in at the club Monday to get his MRI results, then begin the process of returning as soon as possible, according to coach Greg Vanney, per Damian Calhoun of the Daily Breeze. "I think he's back tonight and he'll be in tomorrow, get the MRI results and then just start the process to try to get him back as soon as possible."
Analysis: Lozano was ruled out of Mexico's match against the United States and left the squad after an MRI confirmed a myotendinous injury to his left biceps femoris, suffered in training. No recovery timeline has been provided, leaving his availability for the Oct. 11 clash against St. Louis City SC uncertain.
Leaves Mexico camp
Lozano has been ruled out against the United States and will leave the Mexico squad after an MRI confirmed a myotendinous injury to his left biceps femoris, according to the Mexico national team.
Analysis: Lozano sustained the injury during training and will return to LA Galaxy to begin his recovery after being ruled out for the remainder of the international break. Initial reports had only indicated a muscular problem, but the MRI has now confirmed a more specific hamstring injury. No recovery timeline has been provided, leaving Lozano's availability for the Oct. 11 clash against St. Louis City SC uncertain.
Dealing with muscular injury
Lozano has been ruled out of Mexico's Saturday match against the United States due to a muscle injury, according to Liga MX reporter Jose Juan Vazquez.
Analysis: The Galaxy winger will not be available for Mexico in this international fixture, and it remains to be seen if he'll be an option to face Chile on Tuesday as well. Further tests will be needed to determine the extent of the injury, but now it seems uncertain whether Lozano will be able to play for the Galaxy against St. Louis City SC on Sunday, Oct. 11.
Called up with Mexico
Lozano has been called up by Mexico for the matches against Colombia and USA on September 26 and October 3rd respectively and will miss Saturday's clash againt Colorado.
Analysis: Lozano has been an undisputed starter in the attack for LA Galaxy since joining in the transfer window, scoring one goal and providing one assist in eight MLS appearances, but he will miss the match against Colorado on Saturday due to the call up. He should return in time to face St. Louis on October 11 and Marco Reus should see a greater role in his absence.
Assist in start
Lozano assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus New England Revolution. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 62nd minute.
Analysis: Even though Lozano is not a permanent part of the Galaxy's roster, he has been a staple on their left flank, starting on the left side of a 4-2-3-1 formation three times since the second half of August. Among the three starts, Lozano logged both a goal and an assist on four shots on goal and five chances created. It looks like Lozano will be a short-term go-to for the remainder of 2026.
Scores in 3-1 defeat to loan club
Lozano scored one goal to go with seven shots (three on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus San Diego FC.
Analysis: Lozano is currently on loan at LA Galexy from San Diego FC and scored their only goal as his side lost 3-1 to his parent club. This was his first goal in only his second start and first full 90 minutes this season. He took seven shots getting three on target, while also creating two chances. The winger scored 11 goals and provided nine assists for San Diego last year.
Loaned to LA Galaxy
Lozano joined the LA Galaxy on loan through the end of December 2026, with the Galaxy holding a permanent trade option at the conclusion of the deal, the club announced.
Analysis: Lozano made 34 appearances across all competitions for San Diego FC, contributing 11 goals and nine assists as the club reached the Western Conference Final in its inaugural season. Lozano is expected to provide competition for Robert Taylor on the left wing as he begins the next chapter of his career with the Galaxy.
