Available against Colorado Gabrielsen (hamstring) is available for Sunday's clash with Colorado, according to the Austin injury report.
Impact Gabrielsen is absent from the Austin injury report ahead of Sunday's match, giving him a chance to return in the season finale. When fully fit and available Gabrielsen is a consistent starter and getting him back before the post-season would be a major boon for Austin's defense as a whole.

Added to injury report Gabrielsen (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the Austin injury report ahead of Saturday's trip to Vancouver.
Impact Gabrielsen is on the injury report after the international break, this time with a hamstring injury. The defender has been an absolutely nailed-on starter throughout the 2022 campaign and would be a major loss with any time missed. It's not clear how long-term the injury is but Gabrielsen would be a major miss if he is ruled out Saturday.

Keeps clean sheet in return Gabrielsen (knock) had a clean sheet, four tackles (three won) and four clearances while playing the full 90 minutes in Saturday's 1-0 win over CF Montreal.
Impact Gabrielsen appears to have fully shaken off his knock he picked up before the break and turned in a terrific display here while leaving the game unscathed. That was his first shutout since April but with one goal, one clean sheet, four tackles, four interceptions and seven clearances over his past four matches he's been still productive in fantasy.

Impact Gabrielsen opened the scoring Wednesday from a corner kick routine, and he did well defensively to limit the MLS leaders to just one goal from the penalty spot. This win will give his side even more confidence heading into Sunday's clash against Orlando City, which have scored 14 times in 12 matches this season.

Impact Gabrielsen was once again an imposing presence at the heart of the defense, pacing his side in clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay most of the time, being key for his side to keep the second clean sheet over the last three outings. Up next for the centre back is Saturday's Texas derby against Houston.

Impact Gabrielsen headed in his first MLS goal in dramatic fashion on Saturday, completing his side's come-from-behind victory to erase a 2-0 deficit in the final 10 minutes of the game. Austin are flying high a the moment having lost just one of their first seven games this season, and Gabrielsen will be ready for next weekend's clash against the Whitecaps, which have scored just six goals in MLS thus far.

Makes six blocks in loss Gabrielsen had one off-target shot and made five clearances and six blocks during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Portland.
Impact Gabrielsen made his first start of the season and had a nice outing, pacing his side in both clearances and blocks, but he and the rest of Austin defense couldn't prevent Bill Tuiloma from heading home a free-kick cross from the right in the 62nd minute. Despite losing the game, the centre back will hope his performance was good enough for him to remain in the lineup for Mar. 20 home match against Seattle.

Signs with Austin FC Gabrielsen has signed a two-year deal with Austin FC away from French side Toulouse.
Impact Gabrielsen could move immediately into Austin's back line, as he has plenty of top-league experience. He's been at Toulouse since 2020 and was a regular for Molde in Norway before that. Of note, he was loaned away from Toulouse in the first half of the current season to Copenhagen, so there is a chance he wasn't good enough to play in Ligue 2, though that's not certain to be the case.
