Set for return on bench Adekugbe (knee) is expected to be on the team sheet Saturday against Portland, earning a spot on the bench, per Har Journalist of Daily Hive Vancouver. Impact Adekugbe looked to be in doubt for Saturday's match at the start of the week due to soreness, but after an assessment Friday, he has now been deemed fit to make the team sheet. However, it appears the club is taking his return cautiously, as he is only slated to be on the bench to start the match. He most likely will continue in that role, as he only saw six starts in 12 appearances last season, mainly serving in a rotational role while seeing minutes here and there.
