Impact Adekugbe entered the match in the 30th minute and set up Fafa Picault in the 66th to assist Vancouver's third goal while leading his side with five crosses. The assist was the first since April for Adekugbe who has made just two appearances since May due to a calf injury.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Out Saturday Adekugbe (calf) is out for Saturday's clash with St. Louis, Har Journalist reports.
Impact Adekugbe won't be an option for Saturday's clash as he continues to recover from a calf issue. The wing-back was running in individual training earlier in the week so his recovery is progressing. His next chance to return will be a July 3 clash with Minnesota.
JUNE 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Running Tuesday Adekugbe (calf) took part in light training Tuesday, per Har Journalist.
Impact Adekugbe was working individually in running training Tuesday, as he works back from a calf injury. The defender is likely still weeks away from returning, with any sort of match action still requiring a full return to team training. Sebastian Berhalter got the start last time out.
JUNE 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Starting to train Adekugbe (calf) is back in training, according to manager Vanni Sartini, per Har Johal of Equalizer Soccer. "We don't know. I can tell you tomorrow he's on the pitch, from two mont...
Impact Adekugbe has been out for around the past month due to a calf injury. However, he is set to begin training Wednesday, bringing confidence that he could be on the mend and is set to resume play soon. The club will continue to monitor his fitness, although we likely won't see him back in play for another one to two weeks after just starting to train.
JUNE 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Adekugbe (calf) is out for Saturday's game against New England, Har Johal of The Daily Hive Vancouver reports.
Impact Adekugbe hasn't played since May 5, and while he's getting closer to a return, he's not ready yet. His next chance to play will come against the Timbers on June 22, though it wouldn't be surprising if he's not ready by that date, either.
JUNE 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out to face LAFC Adekugbe (calf) won't be available to face LAFC on Saturday, Har Johal of The Daily Hive Vancouver reports.
Impact Adekugbe was doing exercises in the gym and didn't train with the rest of the group during Thursday's session, which effectively will rule him out of playing over the weekend. The injury comes at a bad time for him, as he had started each of Colorado's last three games. Adekugbe's next chance to play will come against Colorado on May 15.
MAY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Leaves with calf injury Adekugbe was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against Austin due to a calf injury.

MAY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Assists opener Adekugbe assisted once to go with four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Seattle Sounders FC.
Impact Adekugbe set up Ryan Gauld for the opening goal during Saturday's win. The full-back was excellent going forward, though he could have had a bit better end product on a couple occasions. Adekugbe remains a strong attacking option, especially in a Vancouver side that is doing brilliantly in the early stages of 2024.
APRIL 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.
MARCH 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Undergoes minor setback Adekugbe (knee) was supposed to return Saturday, but per manager Michael D'Agostino, "He just had a little bit of soreness in the knee. We're making sure that little thing doesn't...
Impact Adekugbe will have to restart with an extra week of full training as he looks to be completely healthy for Saturday after a minor set back in his knee injury. He will continue to be used off the bench for the side, with just six starts in 12 appearances in 2023.
MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Set to return Adekugbe (knee) will be an option off the bench for Saturday's clash with Salt Lake, Har Journalist reports.
Impact Adekugbe is set to return for Saturday's match after getting back in full team training Tuesday. The defender will only be an option off the bench, potentially giving Ali Ahmed a chance in the starting XI for Saturday's match.
MARCH 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not yet training Adekugbe (knee) is not training Thursday, according to Har Journalist of The Equalizer.
Impact Adekugbe isn't back in training and won't be an option for Saturday's trip to Dallas. The wing-back will have another week to recover before attempting to make a return for a March 23 clash with Salt Lake. Ali Ahmed could be in line for a start with Adekugbe on the sideline.
MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Begins light work Adekugbe (knee) has been doing light training on the grass as he inches closer to a return to full team training, reports Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer.
Impact Adekugbe has moved his work from the gym to the grass as he is making great progress during his knee recovery. The midfielder will aim for a return before the end of the month, where he will start as a bench option after making six starts in 12 appearances in 2023.
MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
About month away Adekugbe (knee) is about a month away from returning, according to head coach Vanni Sartini.
Impact Adekugbe has been working in the gym the past week and will need another month to get back on the pitch and regain fitness. When healthy, he should see significant time for the Whitecaps, but he hasn't really gotten a chance to show his ability since joining the club last August, mostly due to injury and fitness.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Out against Tigres Adekugbe (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's clash with Tigres in the Champions League.

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Set to stay Adekugbe will remain with Vancouver in 2024, the club annoucned.
Impact Adekugbe didn't play the largest role after making the switch but he started both playoff matches and scored. The wing-back was solid throughout and could be the top option heading into 2024 if the playoffs are anything to go by. Adekugbe was brought in late and never really got the chance to gel in the first team.
NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scores in playoff loss Adekugbe scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-2 defeat to Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Adekugbe scored a header in the 40th minute Saturday off an assist by Ryan Gauld which tied the match at 2-2 going into halftime. It marks his first goal of the season and his first shot on target of the season. He and the rest of the team did not play well defensively though, as the Whitecaps gave up five goals and are now one loss away from being eliminated from the playoffs.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Logs assist off bench in win Adekugbe made an assist and created two chances after coming off the bench during Wednesday's 3-0 win over St. Louis.
Impact Adekugbe was brought as part of a double substitution in the 71st minute and still found time to contribute as he assisted Richie Laryea for the goal that sealed the 3-0 win during stoppage time. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet for the full-back since returning to the club and he'll hope this helps him to keep getting playing time moving forward.
OCTOBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to bench Adekugbe (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Salt Lake.
Impact Adekugbe was upgraded to questionable earlier in the week and now returns to the bench. The defender has seen minor minutes since joining Vancouver and seems likely to continue a more rotational role.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Officially questionable Adekugbe (knee) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Salt Lake, according to the Vancouver injury report.
Impact Adekugbe has missed a pair of matches but is now upgraded to questionable. Since joining Vancouver the wing-back has appeared four times (starting twice) and has yet to play more than 62 minutes. With an uncertain fitness level a bench spot is more likely even if Adekugbe is able to pass the late fitness check.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Downgraded to out Adekugbe (knee) won't play Saturday against Toronto FC, Har Journalist of The Daily Hive Vancouver reports.
Impact Adekugbe was initially listed as questionable, but the defender won't even travel with the team to Toronto and will stay in Vancouver to continue working on his rehab. His next chance to feature will come next week in another road matchup at Houston on Sep. 20.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Adekugbe (knee) is listed as questionable heading into Saturday's match against Toronto.
Impact Adekugbe's availability for Saturday's match against Toronto is in question after being marked as questionable with right patella tendinitis.

If he is not able to play against Toronto expect Richie Laryea and Ryan Raposo to start on the wings for Vancouver.
