Nicolas Lodeiro - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Assists off bench in win Lodeiro assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory over New England Revolution.

Impact Lodeiro provided a great ball for Duncan McGuire to score on a counterattack during the 74th minute of the match. It was Lodeiro's first goal involvement in MLS play since dropping to a substitute role in early July. That fact may help him regain confidence as he competes for an attacking midfield spot with Martin Ojeda and Facundo Torres. However, even with limited time on the field, the veteran could have a few set pieces per game.

Sends in six crosses versus NYRB Lodeiro had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus New York Red Bulls.

Impact Lodeiro earned his first goal and goal contribution of the season Saturday, finding the back of the net in the 64th minute for the club's second and final goal of the match. This was a slightly rare goal for the midfielder in recent times, as he only had one in 37 appearances last campaign.

Impact Lodeiro was back in the starting XI after coming off the bench during the previous two contests but had his worst performance since joining Orlando from a statistical standpoint as he couldn't create for teammates even on set pieces and failed to put a shot on target. The veteran playmaker will probably receive more opportunities to show why he was brought from Portland, but he has mostly disappointed after his first four games with his new team.

FEBRUARY 28 • FOX SPORTS

Logs five crosses in Orlando debut Lodeiro had one off-target shot, created one chance and sent in five crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's scoreless draw against Montreal.

Impact Lodeiro made his official debut for Orlando but was still far from being the creative force he was in Seattle, which eventually led him to be subbed off during the final stages of the contest. Due to his role on set pieces, we should expect Lodeiro to have a relatively high fantasy floor, as it should lead to more goals, assists, chances created and crosses.

He should be a regular starter for Orlando and will have an important role in the team right away.

Creates four chances as substitute Lodeiro had one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Lodeiro came onto the pitch in the 57th minute and proceeded to be Seattle's most threatening player on the attack for the remainder of the game. He created four chances for the sixth time this season and recorded nine crosses for the eighth time this season despite playing just 33 minutes. He had a down season for his standards in 2023, recording by far his fewest goal contributions (six) since joining Seattle in 2017, outside of the 2021 season where he played just 10 games due to injury.

Set to depart Seattle Lodeiro won't renew his contract with Seattle after the 2023 playoffs, he told reporters.

Impact Lodeiro's long and storied career with Seattle is set to come to an end after the playoffs. The attacking midfielder will hope to have one last deep playoff run with the Sounders and maybe even a third MLS Cup. Lodeiro also took home the CONCACAF Champions League with Seattle in 2022. Heading into the playoffs Lodeiro has scored 41 times and added 80 assists in 191 regular season MLS matches.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Creatively busy Lodeiro had two shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Lodeiro was the same player he always has been, pulling strings from attacking midfield and creating three chances. That doesn't hide that his has been perhaps his most lackluster individual season yet. The attacking superstar has 11 goal contributions but just one goal and only five primary helpers. Coming off 18 goal contributions and seven goals in 2022 it's possible that time is catching up to Lodeiro.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts, attempts seven crosses Lodeiro recorded three shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Nashville SC.

Impact September was a mixed bag for Lodeiro, who alternated between started and substitute across the month. The attacking midfielder logged 11 of his 15 crosses across two starts. Ideally for Lodeiro, he is a regular starter again in October, though the midfielder did not do much to prove his worth.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Active as playmaker Lodeiro generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Portland Timbers.

Impact Lodeiro didn't crack the scoresheet in this one and had to come off the bench, but the star playmaker was active and generally pulled the strings in midfield while also providing his regular value on set-piece situations. Lodeiro has created at least two scoring chances in four of his last five outings.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers assist in key win Lodeiro assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Austin FC.

Impact Lodeiro set up Seattle's first goal with a perfect cross into the near post that was knocked home from close range by Jordan Morris. This was Lodeiro's second assist in three games since the league resumed after the Leagues Cup, and the former Uruguay international has five assists in 26 appearances for Seattle during the current MLS campaign. He has notched one goal as well.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches assist against Minnesota Lodeiro assisted once to go with five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Minnesota United.

Impact Lodeiro assisted on the first goal of the game when his cross found the head of Yeimar Gomez in the 17th minute. It was Lodeiro's first assist since April and his fourth on the season. The 33-year-old has only missed one match all season but seems to be a far way off from his old self as age starts to catch up with him. He only has five goal contributions this year and has almost no chance of reaching last season's mark of 14 with only so many matches remaining before playoffs.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

10 crosses in loss Lodeiro had one shot (zero on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Monday's 2-0 defeat against Atlanta United.

Impact Lodeiro recorded 10 crosses (two accurate) Sunday, his sixth match this season with double-digit crosses. He also created two chances and took five corners in his 68 minutes of action. While he records a lot of crosses and creates a fair number of chances, he has not recorded an assist in his last 17 matches and only has one goal over that span.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Has relatively quiet outing in loss Lodeiro had two off-target shots, created one chance and sent in three crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 2-0 loss against San Jose.

Impact Lodeiro was Seattle's closest play from being considered an attacking threat here but was still far from the player he's used to be. But the worst fact from him is that he extended his streak without appearing on the scoresheet with either a goal or an assist to 11 league games, with his last goal dating back to May 7. The playmaker will try to help his side bouncing back during Saturday's clash against Dallas.
