Ryan Gauld - Picks up issue Gauld (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Portland, per the MLS injury report.
Impact Gauld got the start and played 90 minutes during Wednesday's Canadian Championship win over Toronto. The attacking midfielder didn't show any signs of a knee issue there, though evidently he was struggling with one when the club returned to Vancouver. Gauld would be a substantial loss, though Fafa Picault has been a nice addition when Gauld is out.

Sam Adekugbe - Goal following demotion Adekugbe scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 defeat against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact After being dropped from Canada's national team due to an injury, Adekugbe was part of Vancouver's starting XI before he was dropped from that Saturday. Still, he took advantage of a limited chance, logging his first goal in what has been a turbulent 2024 season for him.

Ryan Gauld - Another assist off bench Gauld assisted once to go with seven crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 4-2 defeat versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Likely because the Whitecaps already had a game less than half a week earlier, Gauld was demoted from their starting XI for Saturday. Despite playing only one half against the Galaxy, he made his mark by logging the assist to a goal scored by Sam Adekugbe. Gauld has 11 assists across his last 13 appearances, a run of games ensuring his 2024 season is a success.

Brian White - Starts and scores White scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Vancouver promoted White to the team's starting XI on Saturday, and he rewarded the decision by logging another goal, giving him two scored across his last two appearances. This year, White has 14 goals, just putting him two away from tying his scoring tally from 2023.

Sebastian Berhalter - Own goal and assist Berhalter assisted once to go with an own goal, one shot (zero on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and nine corners in Saturday's 4-2 loss against Los Angeles Galaxy. In addition,...
Impact Berhalter scored an own goal that gave the Galaxy their second of four scored Saturday. But 13 minutes later, he redeemed himself by logging the assist to a goal by Brian White. Like 2023, Berhalter now has two assists across 2024.
SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Yohei Takaoka - Concedes four goals Takaoka made five saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-2 defeat against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Four goals is the most Takaoka has conceded across 2024, and something he has done twice across his last six appearances. The goalkeeper will try to redeem himself next Saturday against Portland, scheduled to be Vancouver's last opponent in September.

Impact Ahmed missed the match against Houston on Wednesday and landed in LA on Thursday, though he'll need to pass a fitness test to determine whether he'll be available for this weekend's contest. Ahmed has been a regular starter when fit, featuring in the XI in all but two of his appearances dating back to the beginning of April.
