Impact Armstrong made just his second start since joining the club and made a big impact. His three goal contributions equaled Ryan Gauld's three and he was able to do this all in just 64 minutes on the pitch.

Out Wednesday Armstrong (calf) is out for Wednesday's clash with Seattle, per the MLS injury report.
Impact Armstrong isn't an option for Wednesday's clash with Seattle as he deals with a calf issue.

Armstrong will have three more chances to try and return before the end of the regular season.

Scores off bench Armstrong scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Impact Armstrong entered the fray late in the match Saturday, coming on for the final six minutes of play, and he made the most of his opportunity. The veteran known best for his time on the South Coast at St. Mary's Stadium with Southampton scored his first MLS goal in just his second appearance after signing for Vancouver as a free agent. Considering his pedigree and that Vancouver signed him as a designated player, Armstrong's minutes and influence should continue to increase as he becomes more integrated into the squad and club.

Impact Armstrong is heading to the U.S.A. after spending the entirety of his career in Europe, with the midfielder signing a designated player contract with Vancouver.

In the most recent season, he started in 33 of his 42 appearances with Southampton, registering five goals on 67 shots and seven assists on 68 chances created.

Impact Armstrong was one of the best -- and most active -- players for Southampton in this loss, but the midfielder is not a reliable fantasy asset and hasn't produced much all season long. He has started in the last two games, but he's not contributing enough to make an impact in fantasy or in real life. He hasn't cracked the scoresheet since Oct. 23.

Impact At this point, Armstrong should probably still be considered a doubt to face Aston Villa, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Even if cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI considering he has featured in just seven of his 17 appearances for the club this season.
