Head concern sidelines him
Musovski has picked up a head issue and is listed as out by the MLS in its week 32 player availability report.
Analysis: Musovski could face an extended absence if he's dealing with a major injury or concussion, but his recovery timeline remains unknown. After leading Seattle with 16 goals last season, the forward is now limited to a rotational role and has gone unused three times in a row. Pedro de la Vega (quad) is also out and Paul Rothrock (hamstring) is questionable, so the team's options up front and out wide are stretched thin.
Scores opener Wednesday
Musovski scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Musovski opened up the scoring Wednesday with an outside-the-box strike in the 48th minute assisted by Paul Arriola. It was his only shot in his return to the pitch after a four-match absence due to the birth of his child. He also recorded one tackle before he was subbed off in the 63rd minute for Jordan Morris.
Starting midweek
Musovski (personal) is in the starting lineup Wednesday against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Musovski's absence was expected to be a short one as he was away only for the birth of his child. However, with Dejan Joveljic (international duty) unavailable, Musovski is making his first appearance since Aug. 22 immediately as a starter and could see meaningful playing time in the next couple of games. Having achieved just one goal over his previous 18 MLS appearances, the striker will look to capitalize on the chances his team generates, looking to rack up various shots and possibly a few creative stats while his on the field.
Out due to childbirth
Musovski has been excluded from the match squad Saturday versus Colorado Rapids while he welcomes his first child, according to the club.
Analysis: Musovski will likely sit out just one game given the nature of his absence. However, he has barely played since summer signing Dejan Joveljic took over the striker spot, so the blow to the squad is mainly a depth issue for the weekend's clash. The 30-year-old remains with one goal and no assists over 19 MLS appearances (10 starts) in 2026.
On bench Sunday
Musovski (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's game versus Los Angeles FC.
Analysis: Musovski left his previous appearance in the 12th minute after sustaining a knock, and while it wasn't serious enough to sideline him, he'll see his playing time managed in the week 15 matchup. The striker has had a slow start to the year, recording one goal across 11 league outings. Both Albert Rusnak and Jordan Morris could see their involvement affected as soon as Musovski is back on the pitch.
Picks up issue Saturday
Musovski suffered a knock that ultimately forced him to leave the field during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Musovski was selected to lead his side's front line and took one shot on target before his forced exit in the opening minutes of the match. The nature and extent of the blow are still unknown, making the forward questionable for future contests. He has scored one goal across 11 games played this campaign, and his potential absence would limit the team's attacking power. Albert Rusnak acted as his substitute against Galaxy, while Osaze Tafari De Rosario was also on the bench and could see increased action if Musovski is ruled out for the next games.
Scores late equalizer
Musovski scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus San Diego FC.
Analysis: Mosovski was able to deliver an important moment off the bench to give Seattle a draw on Saturday evening. The forward is likely to have a similar role against San Jose Earthquakes but it'll be tough to score against a side that has only conceded eight goals through 12 MLS matches.
