KWADWO OPOKU NEWS

Substitute option Saturday Opoku (lower body) is on the bench in Saturday's visit to Charlotte.

Impact Opoku will have a chance to produce following a four-game absence, although he's expected to remain with limited activity. Over his previous eight league matches played in 2025, he failed to score or assist from two shots (one on target) and zero chances created. He'll likely challenge Dante Sealy on the right wing in upcoming fixtures.

Trains with team Opoku (lower body) was involved in group training Wednesday, according to Maxime Truman of DL Coulisses.

Impact Opuku was back on the training field jogging last week, but has taken the boost to see a spot in group training. That said, he will likely continue to train throughout the international break, hoping to return to play following the break against St. Louis on Sept. 13.

Completes jogging Opuku (lower body) was viewed jogging solo at training Tuesday, according to Maxime Truman of DL Coulisses.

Impact Opuku is seeing an update this week after he was back outside for training Tuesday, although he was only able to jog by himself. This is positive, but he appears to still be far from training with the tram, needing to do that before thinking of a return to play.

Back on injury report Opoku (lower body) is out for Saturday's clash with Austin, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Opoku has barely played in recent weeks, going unused on the bench more often than not. It's not clear if that's due to the lower body injury, but his absence with the injury is unlikely to do much to the starting XI. Opoku has made just eight appearances this season.

On bench Saturday Opoku (lower body) is among the substitutes for Saturday's clash with Charlotte FC.

Impact Opoku was only forced to miss one game due to the issue, before which he recorded 131 minutes but failed to score or assist in MLS play this year. The forward will now aim for an opportunity in either Dante Sealy's or Prince-Osei Owusu's place.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Suffering from lower body issue Opoku is questionable for Saturday's match against Columbus due to a lower body injury.

Impact Opoku is dealing with a lower body injury and will now need to pass a fitness test to be an option Saturday, as he is questionable. He did start in two of the three matches to open the season but hasn't started in their past three outings, so this wouldn't force a change. If fit, he would likely only see a bench spot.

Assists off bench Opoku provided one assist and hit the woodwork once off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 win against Chicago.

Impact Opoku's abbriviate appearance on Saturday was efficient as he helped seal a much needed second win in the last three games. Opoku suffered an ankle injury, the same ankle that sidelined him for the second half of the 2021 season, and missed the entire first half of the season. Since coming back from injury, he has seen himself behind Bryce Duke and newcomer Caden Clark in the attacking-midfielder role, with most of his time on the pitch coming from the bench.

Consolation goal as substitute Opoku scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati.

Impact Opoku came into the game as a substitute at half-time, scoring his side's only goal of the game. In the 81st minute, he got onto the end of an excellent ball by Fernando Alvarez and slotted home well. He scored his second goal of the season from only 12 shots.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goal in draw Opoku scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (none accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against New York Red Bulls.

Impact Opoku got onto the scoresheet Wednesday by using his physicality to navigate around defenders and slot the ball assertively into the net. The 22-year-old is being eased back into first team action, this was his second appearance following a three month absence due to injury. He was subbed after 45 minutes.

JUNE 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting XI Opoku (ankle) is available and starting in the midweek clash versus New York Red Bulls.

Impact Opoku makes his second start of the season and first since suffering a considerable injury in March. The attacker will aim to contribute shots and creative stats, though he may not be extremely reliable yet as it's unclear if he's ready for significant time on the field.

JUNE 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for 8-10 weeks absence Opoku is expected to miss the next two months with a ligament tear to his ankle, per MLS insider Davide Masi.

Impact This is a tough loss for Opoku, who only got to play 35 minutes during the first two appearances before going down with a ligament injury. Jules-Anthony Vilsaint came on in his relief, who could potentially see more time on the pitch with Dominik Yankov also dealing with an injury.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limps off Opoku limped off during the first half of Saturday's clash with Dallas.

Impact Opoku got the start during Saturday's clash before limping off after just 11 minutes. Jules-Anthony Vilsaint came on to replace Opoku and could get some chances in the starting XI if the injury to Opoku proves to be a serious one.

MARCH 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four goals after switch Opoku scored four times in 12 starts after switching to Montreal.

Impact Opoku was acquired by Montreal and started all 12 of his appearances, scoring four times and adding an assist. Before the trade he also added four goal contributions with LAFC. Moving into 2024 Opoku could be handed the full time starting role to lead the line, though pre-season could see competition for that job.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores, assists versus Portland Opoku scored a goal off two shots (one on target), made an assist and drew two fouls during Saturday's 4-1 win over Portland.

Impact Opoku had a great first half here, making a great run from the right flank to assist Sunusi Ibrahim for his side's first goal just before the half hour mark and then saw his teammate retributing the favor and pass the ball for him to make it 2-0 with a shot from outside the box. That's now three goals and one assists over the last six starts for the forward, who will hope to replicate this performance during Oct. 21 pivotal matchup at Columbus.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores goal in draw Opoku scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Opoku scored for the second time in three games, after taking a shot from long-range and managing to catch the goalkeeper off-guard. However, the forward failed to register three or more after doing so in the previous seven games.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets goal in loss Opoku scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 loss versus Columbus Crew.

Impact Opoku opened up the scoring for Montreal by netting a goal in the 52nd minute of Saturday's defeat. The forward hasn't been too clinical this season for Montreal, only bagging two goals in his 19 appearances. He hadn't scored a single goal until about a month ago despite appearing in most of their matches this season. He only has recorded 13 shots on goal this whole season and will have to do better as the season closes if he wants to retain his spot with Jules-Anthony Vilsaint right on his heels.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots in win Opoku had four shots (one on target) and created one chance during Saturday's 1-0 win over New England.

Impact Opoku was a key contributor for his team, being very active up front and pacing all players in shots attempted. However, accuracy wasn't there for the forward once again, as he found the target just once. Since the beginning of June, Opoku had 11 appearances (seven starts), just one goal and one assist and three shots on target (out of 15 attempts). Even for a winger, this isn't exactly an expected output. He'll try to bounce back during Wednesday's visit to NYCFC.

Impact Opoku quickly got on the scoresheet for Montreal only in his second game for his new club while already taking three shots in those affairs. The forward also had two goals and two assists in 19 appearances (13 starts) for LAFC but seems to be poised to become a regular starter for the Canadian side.

Traded to Montreal Opoku has joined CF Montreal after being traded in exchange for $1,750,000 in General Allocation Money from LAFC, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Opoku racked up 13 goals and nine assists in all competitions for LAFC since joining the club in Fall 2020, and featured in every single league match as the team won an MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield double last season. But the 21-year-old never fully nailed down a consistent spot in the preferred XI and he's now moving to a rebuilding Montreal side. He could immediately become the focus of the attack at his new club as Romell Quioto (thigh) is injured for a while longer.
