New EnglandAbsent for personal reasons
Langoni was inactive in the weekend's match against Charlotte because he traveled to Argentina following a family issue, his club posted Saturday.
Analysis: Langoni missed his side's final game before the World Cup break after scoring in each of his previous two MLS starts. The winger will aim to return when league activity resumes in July if he rejoins the squad and gets enough work in training by that time. He was in great form, tallying multiple shots and crosses in three straight contests. Peyton Miller filled in for him versus Charlotte, with Diego Fagundez added to the starting lineup on the left flank.
Scores one goal
Langoni scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Minnesota United.
Analysis: Langoni delivered the match-winning contribution in Saturday's 2-1 win over Minnesota, initiating a two-on-two counterattack in the second half alongside Dor Turgeman before receiving the ball back and firing a composed right-footed shot past Drake Callender's outstretched dive at the far post to restore his side's lead. The Argentine winger operates on the right flank in his team's system and drifts centrally to combine with Carles Gil in the final third, while also adding one key pass, four crosses and one tackle. Langoni has now scored three goals and delivered six assists across 12 MLS appearances this season, the most by any player on his team.
Makes starting XI Saturday
Langoni (lower body) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Minnesota United.
Analysis: Langoni has been cleared to play after facing a late fitness test, although it remains to be seen how many minutes he's available for. He has featured on the right wing throughout the season and could be expected to deliver crosses from the flank. He has also found shooting chances in his recent performances and even scored his second goal of the season before getting hurt. His presence also impacts the playing time of Griffin Yow, who is now set for reduced action.
Still in day-to-day status
Langoni (lower body) has yet to complete his recovery, and his condition is being evaluated on a daily basis per manager Marko Mitrovic, Caleb Pongratz of Prost Soccer reports.
Analysis: Langoni was excluded from his side's last league contest due to his injury, which prevented him from building on the momentum he gained by scoring a goal in his latest start on May 9. While he's facing a late test ahead of the next few matches, it remains to be seen when he'll be ready to get meaningful minutes again. His issue reduces an attacking depth that is also missing Leonardo Campana (lower body), with Dor David Turgeman and Griffin Yow taking on increased responsibilities in central and right-wing spots, respectively.
Dealing with lower body concern
Langoni is now a doubt for Wednesday's meeting with Nashville due to a lower body problem.
Analysis: Langoni could miss some time with this issue, although it's still unclear if it's a serious injury. The Argentine forward has contributed in New England's attack, and his potential absence would be a new blow to the team. With Leonardo Campana (lower body) still out, Langoni's availability is particularly relevant as one of the few forward options New England has at full fitness.
Scores one goal in win
Langoni scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), nine crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Langoni played the decisive role in New England's comeback in Saturday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia Union, collecting Carles Gil's pass inside the box in the second half after a blocked corner was recycled, then driving across the area before unleashing a curling finish inside the far post past Andre Blake. The Argentine winger was replaced in the second half by Matt Polster as his side managed the game after taking the lead, finishing with one goal, two shots and nine crosses in 79 minutes of consistent attacking pressure. Langoni has registered two goals and six assists this season across 11 MLS appearances, reinforcing his status as the most productive attacker in his side's starting lineup.
Attempts five crosses
Langoni had two shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 win over Charlotte FC.
Analysis: For only the second time in 2026, Langoni has attempted at least five crosses during a single appearance. Despite his seemingly low cross rate and zero goal contributions Saturday, he has regularly assisted, backed by six assists across 10 appearances this year.
