OUT
Injury Achilles
Est. Return 2/1/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
There were concerns in 2024 that Long might lose playing time with the arrival of Maxime Chanot, but the LAFC captain ended up playing the most games in the back, maintaining a strong presence in defense. Long enjoyed a standout season, recording 130 clearances, the first time since 2019 he reached such a mark, along with 41 interceptions and 34 tackles. His consistent performances proved vital in LAFC's defensive setup, and in 2025, Long will continue to be an integral part of the team's back three, bringing leadership and defensive solidity.
Season over
Long (Achilles) is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon, LAFC announced.
ANALYSIS
Long will miss the remainder of the season as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles. The defender finishes the season with 15 starts and a single goal, playing a role in most matches. Long should be fit and ready for the 2026 campaign, barring any set backs. Nkosi Tafari could take a larger role with Long left sidelined.
