Columbus Crew forward Gyasi Zardes injured before USMNT qualifiers begin ' MLSSoccer.com Columbus Crew forward Gyasi Zardes will miss the next 2-4 weeks with a hamstring injury, head coach Caleb Porter told media members ahead of...

Out 2-4 weeks Zardes (hamstring) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks due to an injury he suffered in Wednesday's loss against the Red Bulls, according to Jacob Meyers of the Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Zardes is likely to miss at least Columbus' next three games with this injury, and he is unlikely to suit up for the USMNT's first round of World Cup qualifiers in September as well. Veteran forward Bradley Wright-Phillips should replace him in the meantime for the Crew.

Added to injury list Zardes (hamstring) will miss Saturday's match against Seattle, according to Patrick Murphy of Massive Report.

Impact Zardes picked up the injury during Wednesday's loss to the New York Red Bulls and he could be out for at least a couple of weeks. A busy season with the Gold Cup in the middle may have led to this injury, though he should be able to return for the end of the season without any issue.

Suffers possible hamstring injury Zardes left just just before halftime with a possible hamstring injury in Wednesday's loss against the Red Bulls. Manager Caleb Porter believes it to be a "soft tissue injury."

Impact Zardes had a lot of minutes under his belt the last couple months and it looks like it's catching up with him. If it's indeed a hamstring injury, it'll keep him out at least two weeks with the hope being it's not longer. If that's the case, the Crew will likely turn back to a central striker in Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Takes shot in loss Zardes took a shot and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Chicago. He also made two clearances and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Zardes was solid on both sides of the ball on Sunday, but he didn't do enough to earn a result for his side against the Fire. He will want to be more effective Wednesday against the Red Bulls, which have conceded 24 goals in 18 matches this season.

Takes shot in loss Zardes took a shot and made a clearance in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Atlanta United.

Impact Zardes was quiet in his first start since returning to Columbus from the Gold Cup on Saturday. He may have an easier time next weekend against Chicago, which have conceded 28 goals in 17 matches this season.

Back with Columbus Zardes (Gold Cup) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against D.C. United.

Impact Zardes returns to the squad Wednesday after winning the Gold Cup with the U.S. and after missing the last five matches for Columbus. He'll be an option off the bench and if he's fit, he'll likely return to the starting XI Saturday against Atlanta.
