Starter to end 2025 Hopkins generated six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atlanta United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.

Impact Hopkins worked himself into a starting role this season and maintained that into the season finale, starting in 11 of his 17 appearances this campaign. He would catch fire for a period of time, recording three goals on eight shots this season, all of which came in a four-game span. He will now look to earn a bigger role next season, although the club will have to pick up his option, as his contact runs out in December.

Late scratch against Union Hopkins was removed from the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Hopkins will be forced to miss a league match for the first time since June, with Jared Stroud taking his place in midfield. The severity of the youngster's potential injury is still unknown, so he'll be questionable for future contests. This could be a relevant blow given that he recently scored his first three goals of the season over five successive starts.

Missing out Saturday Hopkins (hip) is out for Saturday's match against Cincinnati.

Impact Hopkins is not going to be an option as he falls to the sidelines Saturday with a hip injury.
