Impact Chong-Qui's exact return to action will depend on his recovery process, but he's expected to miss the first three games of the 2026 campaign. He made only a couple of MLS starts last year, producing one shot and four crosses but failing to score or assist from the left flank. Pedro Amador should see significant action in the youngster's absence.

Impact Chong-Qui is one of the club's most interesting prospects, and this new deal reflects the team's intention of keeping him around for the long haul. He should be an option to provide coverage on the full-back roles going forward with an eye to becoming a full-time starter in a year or two.
