Orlando City

<p>Orlando City striker Duncan McGuire is set to be sidelined for an extended period after undergoing a successful shoulder surgery last week. The striker missed the start of the 2025 MLS campaign due to a shoulder injury as well, but his recent surgery was on the opposite shoulder.</p><p>According to <a href="https://x.com/tombogert/status/1933580214619034042" target="_self">GIVEMESPORT,</a> he will be sidelined for 3-4 months.</p><p>The 24-year-old appeared in 12 matches for Orlando through Matchday 18, scoring one goal and recording one assist. He was a member of the U23 USMNT roster that competed at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>McGuire was a breakout rookie in 2023 with Orlando, bagging 14 goals in his debut season for the club. Ahead of the 2024 campaign, he was set for a big move to England with Blackburn Rovers and even took photos in the club's kit ahead of a deadline day move in January of that year, but an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/how-cruel-duncan-mcguire-usmnt-prospect-transfer-blackburn-rovers-over-efl-championship/blt622421caf02e703c" target="_self">administrative paperwork error denied him the transfer</a>.</p><p>Since his failed transfer abroad, he's stagnated in development, scoring just 10 regular-season goals across the 2024 campaign, and just one this season.</p><p>McGuire was called in for the USMNT's January training camp in January 2024 under Gregg Berhalter, but has not featured with the senior team since.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>McGuire signed a new<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/orlando-city-sc-duncan-mcguire-long-term-deal/blt41312ef9f4dbfc77" target="_self"> long-term deal </a>with the <em>Lions</em> in August 2024, handing him a major pay raise from his previous contract while ensuring the club was able to maintain his services.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>If he maintains his current track of recovery, the U.S. prospect will return near the end of the MLS season. Deadline day 2025 is on Oct. 8.</p>
