Thomas Gillier
BOL
Will miss rest of season
Gillier underwent shoulder surgery and will miss the rest of the 2026 MLS season, the club announced Thursday.
Analysis: Gillier hadn't played for Montreal since Aug. 29, when he allowed seven goals against Inter Miami. The Chilean goalkeeper ends the campaign with 42 goals allowed and four clean sheets across 19 starts. It remains to be seen where he'll play next season, as his Montreal loan expires at the end of 2026 and is under contract with Bologna.
Yet to resume team training
Gillier (upper body) was not spotted at CF Montreal's training session Monday, leaving his availability for Wednesday's MLS clash against Atlanta United in doubt, according to Maxime Truman.
Analysis: Gillier remains sidelined with an upper-body injury and has yet to return to team training, putting his availability against Atlanta in doubt. The Chilean goalkeeper had already lost his starting role to Sebastian Breza earlier this season, limiting the impact of his absence on Montreal's first-choice lineup. Gillier has averaged 2.9 saves and 2.2 goals conceded per MLS appearance in 2026, but his continued absence leaves Montreal with reduced depth in goal. No return timeline has been established.
Upper body issue keeps him out
Gillier is not available for the time being because of an upper body concern, according to the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Gillier lost the starting goalkeeper role to Sebastian Breza earlier in the season, so his continued absence does not disrupt Montreal's first-choice setup in goal but significantly limits their backup options. The Chilean was averaging 2.9 saves and 2.2 goals conceded per game in his previous MLS participation in 2026, though he slowed down in his most recent outings. No timeline has been provided for his recovery.
On bench versus Cincinnati
Gillier (upper body) is among the substitutes for Saturday's clash against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Gillier had been sidelined for most of September but completed his recovery in time to see his bench role restored Saturday. He recently lost the starting position to Sebastian Breza though, making him a weak fantasy asset unless there's another change in goal later in the campaign. Gillier had previously recorded 55 saves, 42 goals conceded and four clean sheets over 19 league games this year.
Out with upper body concern
Gillier is facing an undisclosed absence period after picking up an upper body injury, the league announced Friday.
Analysis: Gillier had just lost the starting job to Sebastian Breza in the last couple of games after being busy in Montreal's goal throughout the season. The full extent of his issue is unclear, so Gillier will remain a doubt for subsequent action. He was averaging 2.9 saves and 2.2 goals conceded per game before getting hurt.
Gives up seven goals
Gillier had five saves and allowed seven goals in Saturday's 7-1 defeat to Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Gillier wasn't stopping much on Saturday, though he prevented this from being a double-digit goal game for Inter Miami. The Montreal goalkeepeer should get a bit of a breather against the Philadelphia Union, who have allowed five more goals than they've scored this season in MLS.
Three saves made
Gillier had three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Gillier allowed two goals while making three saves in Saturday's draw with the Galaxy. Since returning from a concussion, he has conceded four goals in three matches while making just five saves, a stretch he'll look to improve on in the coming fixtures. The keeper is set to face off with Inter Miami for the next game on Saturday, who have scored seven goals in the last five contests.
Scores own goal in win
Gillier registered one save and allowed one goal, but also scored an own goal in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Gillier secured the win in Wednesday's tilt with Columbus, but the one goal he conceded was a tremendous error on his part. In the 20th minute he received a pass from a teammate right in front of goal and missed the ball as he tried to boot it deep, and the ball ended up in the net to tie the match. It was an awful mistake from the keeper, but credit to him and the defense for locking down the rest of the match and ensuring that was the only goal scored. He faces another favorable matchup Saturday versus Los Angeles Galaxy, a side which has scored 25 goals through 21 matches this season.
Fit to start Saturday
Gillier (concussion) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against D.C. United.
Analysis: Gillier had struggled to clear the concussion protocol before being able to regain his starting spot from Sebastian Breza. The 25-year-old should continue to play for the rest of the season, looking to help his side revert a poor run of form. He was previously averaging 3.0 saves and 2.1 goals conceded per contest throughout the 2026 MLS campaign.
Training after concussion
Gillier has returned to training after missing three matches while in concussion protocol, putting him on track for a potential return against D.C. United on Aug. 15, Maxime Truman reports.
Analysis: Gillier missed CF Montreal's last three games while working through concussion protocol, an absence that also kept him away from full training with the squad. His return to the group now marks real progress, since rejoining team training is usually one of the last steps before full clearance to play. There is a reasonable chance he is available for the August 15 match against D.C. United given the 10 days of buildup remaining, though it is not guaranteed until the club and medical staff formally clear him. Sebastian Breza, who has started in his place over the past three games, would be expected to drop back to the bench once Gillier is confirmed fit to start.
In concussion protocol
Gillier is absent for upcoming contests due to concussion, the MLS reported Tuesday.
Analysis: Gillier has been a regular starter this season, and the concussion protocol designation requires completing the formal return-to-play steps before the club can field him again. The process is non-negotiable and Montreal will take the appropriate time with his clearance. Sebastian Breza should be in line to cover Gillier's spot in Montreal's goal for the duration of the absence.
No saves required
Gillier kept a clean sheet without making a save during Thursday's 0-0 draw with Toronto.
Analysis: Gillier had a quiet day of work en route to a clean sheet draw with Toronto. The clean sheet was the first since May 9th as the keeper has allowed six goals while combining for eight saves over his last three starts. Montreal head to Nashville next Wednesday.
Six saves in 4-4 draw
Gillier had six saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-4 draw against D.C. United.
Analysis: Gillier made six saves but still conceded four goals as his side drew 4-4 away to D.C United. In his 14 games this season, he has kept three clean sheets, and this was the third game in which he has conceded four or more goals. This was the second game this year where he has made six or more saves, conceding seven goals across these matches.
Two saves in 2-0 defeat
Gillier recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Gillier made two saves but conceded two goals as well. It was the third occasion in the last four league fixtures where the 24-year-old conceded two or more goals. Gillier's next assignment will be against D.C. United.
Concedes two in draw
Gillier made one save and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Gillier was unable to maintain his recent home form, conceding two goals and registering just one save as his back to back clean sheet run at home came to an end. Across his last six matches, the goalkeeper has conceded eight goals and made 13 saves. He will return to action on Saturday against Chicago Fire.
Keeps clean sheet versus Orlando
Gillier recorded three saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Orlando City.
Analysis: Gillier bounced back from a three-goal defeat in the previous league match and kept his goal unbeaten for the third time in 11 appearances this year. After improving over his tough start to the season, he's now averaging 3.3 saves and 2.1 goals conceded per game. His next chance to produce will come in a midweek clash with Portland Timbers, who have been inconsistent but scored six goals in their last game.
Concedes three against Atlanta
Gillier made two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Atlanta United.
Analysis: Gillier had a rough night in net as he was beaten more than he saved the ball, allowing three goals while making two saves. This comes after a clean sheet last outing, remaining at two in 10 appearances this season. He will now face Orlando City on May 9 in their next contest.
Keeps clean sheet
Gillier made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory over New York City FC.
Analysis: Gillier cruised his way to an easy clean sheet win Saturday, making just two saves agaonst NYCFC. This was just his second clean sheet on the season, making 31 saves while allowing 20 goals through nine games. The keeper will face off with Atlanta for the next match on Saturday, who have scored five goals in the last five contests.
