Bryan Gil - Out
Gil remains out with a knee injury, and it’s unclear when he will return. Ange Postecoglou said back in March: “He has a knee injury and needs to speak with Dr. Cugat. We'll see if it's an operation or not. If he has surgery, he could be out for the entire season. But more tests need to be done, and Cugat will decide.
