New EnglandStill out a few more weeks
Campana (lower body) is improving but will still miss a few more weeks, according to manager Marko Mitrovic, per Caleb Pongratz of Spotrac. He's made positive steps going forward. He might need a couple more weeks compared with Ilay, but I feel very positive right now with Leo."
Analysis: Campana is still working on his health and recovery following some lower-body injuries, recently improving well. However, the forward is still expected to miss a few more weeks as he recovers, likely returning later in September. He has only played twice all season due to injuries, so he will be looking to return to action soon.
Progressing without setback
Campana's recovery is progressing well without setbacks, and he could return within three to four weeks, according to coach Marko Mitrovic, per Caleb Pongratz.
Analysis: Campana has been sidelined since late March with a lower body injury that also cost him a spot at the World Cup with Ecuador, a setback the striker had described as a significant blow at the time. Dor David Turgeman has filled in during his absence and is expected to continue in an expanded role until Campana's return. This latest update marks the clearest recovery timeline provided since the injury occurred. Campana is expected to work toward a return to full training as his recovery continues over the coming weeks.
Will miss World Cup
Campana (lower body) announced on social media that he will not be part of Ecuador's World Cup squad due to injury, according to Seth of BlazingMusket. "Today I have to accept that another injury will leave me out of the World Cup."
Analysis: Campana's statement confirms the worst fears surrounding the lower-body issue that had kept him sidelined since late March, with the striker unable to recover in time for the summer tournament. The news is a significant blow for both the player and Ecuador, removing an important attacking option heading into the World Cup. Dor David Turgeman has filled in during his absence at New England Revolution and is expected to continue in an expanded role. No further details have been provided regarding the nature or severity of the injury beyond Campana's personal statement.
Considered day to day
Campana is currently on a day-to-day assessment as he remains doubtful with a lower body issue, coach Marko Mitrovic confirmed, according to Caleb Pongratz of Prost Soccer.
Analysis: Campana could miss a few more games given that he has been sidelined since late March and has barely been an option for the club this year. Dor David Turgeman has been active in his place and should continue to benefit with increased playing time until the Ecuadorian is cleared from his injury.
Injured again
Campana is back on the sidelines with a lower body issue, according to the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Campana has been unavailable since March 22, and he has apparently suffered a setback after returning to full training in previous weeks. New England's offense has been forced to generate without one of its most reliable strikers for an extended period, with Dor David Turgeman featuring in his place.
Trains, ready for action
Campana (leg) is "good to go" and an option for play after training, according to Sam Lattof of the Blazing Musket.
Analysis: Campana joins the list of returnees this week, as the forward is cleared of a leg injury that kept him out for six games. He did start in the season opener before two separate injuries derailed the start of his season, so he will be keen on earning that spot back. However, after an injury immediately after returning last time, they may be cautious and welcome him from the bench for a few games.
