Impact Hopkins looks to be heading in right direction after undergoing ankle surgery during preseason.

In the meantime, new signing Hosei Kijima will see more playing time to start the season, along with Gabriel Pirani.

Set for surgery Hopkins (ankle) is set to undergo ankle surgery due to a pre-season injury, D.C. announced.

Impact Hopkins suffered the injury in pre-season, and it's not clear if it's related to the injury he was struggling at the end of 2024. The midfielder's recovery time is uncertain, but he will likely miss at least the opening month of the season.

Set to miss several weeks Hopkins (ankle) suffered a setback in his return and is set to miss several weeks, per Steven Goff of the Washington Post.

Impact Hopkins only played two of the three Leagues Cup matches for D.C United, having suffered an ankle injury in the process.

The midfielder started 12 of the 17 games played in MLS action, recording 21 tackles and 16 clearances.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to injury list Hopkins (ankle) is out for Saturday's match against Dallas.

Impact Hopkins cannot kick the injury bug this season, as just after returning from injury, he is missing out again due to ankle issues. He will hope to kick the problems quickly and return to play soon, as he was a regular starter before his injury woes.

On bench at Minnesota Hopkins (back) is on the bench in Wednesday's match against Minnesota United.

Impact Hopkins missed the previous seven league games due to the issue but could be in contention for minutes this time. He has featured as a midfielder this year, so perhaps he'll challenge Martin Rodriguez in that zone, in which case he'll be a potential source of passes and tackles.

JULY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to feature Saturday Hopkins (back) is not expected to play Saturday against Nashville SC, manager Troy Lesesne told media during Thursday's pre-match press conference.

Impact While Lesesne didn't rule Hopkins out, the fact that the timeline for a return hovers at some point next week suggests he's not ready to feature yet. The young attacker hasn't played for DC United since June 1.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to miss out Wednesday Hopkins (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's match against Atlanta, according to manager Troy Lesesne, per Steven Goff of the Washington Post.

Impact Hopkins looks likely to miss his second match in a row, as he is still being affected by his back issues. This continues to be a struggle for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit. However, he seems much more likely to possibly feature against Houston on Saturday.

JUNE 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Charlotte Hopkins (back) is out for Saturday's match against Charlotte.

Impact Hopkins will have to sit out this weekend after picking up a back issue in training. This is a tough loss for the club, as he has started in their past seven matches. Gabriel Pirani will be his likely replacment until he is fit again.

MAY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Role dwindles Hopkins made two starts and only seven appearances in 2023.

Impact Hopkins seemed set for a true breakout season after impressing in 2022 and making 21 appearances. Instead 2023 proved to be a disappointment as he played just 192 minutes and failed to earn a goal contribution. Hopkins will likely open 2024 as a depth option at best.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fires two shots-on-target Hopkins had four shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to New England Revolution.

Impact Hopkins put in an outstanding performance on Saturday and contributed two of the seven shots-on-target that United managed. He unfortunately did not score, but as the 18-year-old matures and gets more playing time he will inevitably contribute goals and assists. He was subbed after 68. From four appearances he has made one start.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off bench in season finale Hopkins subbed into Sunday's match against FC Cincinnati in the 76th minute and he created a chance in the 5-2 defeat.

Impact Hopkins made 21 appearances (11 starts) in his rookie MLS campaign after getting promoted from the academy this season, and he grabbed his first assist against Montreal in July. The 18-year-old can continue providing depth anywhere from midfield, to either wing to center forward, but he likely isn't ready to be considered a first-choice starter just yet heading into 2023.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from injury report Hopkins (knee) is absent from the D.C. United injury report ahead of a Saturday trip to New England.

Impact Hopkins (knee) came off against NYRB with a knock to his knee but has been in training and is absent from the injury report. Hopkins has started the last six matches and should be right back in the starting XI for Saturday's trip.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be available Saturday Hopkins (knee) will not be listed in D.C.'s injury report for Saturday's clash against the Revolution, Wayne Rooney told Steven Goff of The Washington Post on Thursday.

Impact Hopkins had to come out in the first half of last weekend's draw with the Red Bulls after picking up a knock on his knee, but Rooney says he has recovered and will not be carrying an injury designation into the New England game. He has started in each of United's last six MLS games.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against New York Hopkins was subbed out of Saturday's draw against the Red Bulls in the 41st minute after suffering an apparent injury.

Impact Hopkins has started in six consecutive MLS games for D.C. United, but his status for next weekend is uncertain after picking up a potential injury on Saturday. Taxiarchis Fountas replaced him on the right wing in this match, and Nigel Robertha is another option in the position as well if necessary.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates three chances in loss Hopkins created three chances on seven crosses (four accurate) during Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Charlotte FC.

Impact Hopkins has started in each of the last five matches, recording one assist and creating 10 chances. These are decent numbers, but he's also conceded one yellow card on eight fouls during this stretch. Up next is a match against New York Red Bulls, which have conceded 30 goals in 23 matches.

Assists in loss Hopkins assisted once to go with five crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus CF Montreal.

Impact Hopkins provided his first assist during Saturday's loss to Montreal. The young winger has broken into the D.C. United first team in the last month and now has his first goal contribution. That said it's still hard to trust him as a major fantasy asset despite starting three matches in a row. Next up is a Sunday clash with Orlando.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in loss Hopkins logged five crosses (one accurate) and made two tackles during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Minnesota United.

Impact Hopkins has started each of the last two matches since Wayne Rooney became manager an he's performed decently with four chances created from 12 crosses. It's also not helpful when star Taxiarchis Fountas wasn't available during this game, though Hopkins still has plenty of personal development to do as well. Up next is a visit from Montreal, which are tied for the third-most goals conceded in the league.

JULY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Attempts seven crosses Hopkins attempted seven crosses during a 2-2 draw Wednesday versus Columbus.

Impact An attacking midfielder Hopkins logged D.C. United's best cross tally. He will try to have new team manager Wayne Rooney use him more regularly. However, Taxiarchis Fountas and Ola Kamara remain the team's most reliable attacking midfielders.
