- Injury updates and timelines have varied by report. In late 2024 and 2025 coverage, there were mentions of Guhle undergoing surgery on an adductor-related issue with a multi-week to early-season return window discussed, and later updates suggested he was trending toward a return within the season depending on recovery progress.[1]
