Team News
Portland
Colorado
- Rodney Wallace returns from international duty with Costa Rica and is expected to slot back into the Portland Timbers line-up against the Rapids.
- Jack Jewsbury was given the night off in Los Angeles, but he is expected to return to his usual starting spot on the right of defence, with Michael Harrington on the left.
- Coach Caleb Porter has been quiet on the injury Futty Danso sustained in the win over FC Dallas, with the defender doubtful for the clash against Colorado. Andrew Jean-Baptiste and Pa Kah are expected to start at the back.
- Head coach Oscar Pareja is still without the injured duo of Jamie Smith and Diego Calderon, meaning he is likely to stick with the front three he fielded against the Chicago Fire.
- Fresh injuries to Brenton Griffiths, who is out with a shoulder dislocation, and Matt Pickens, out with an arm fracture, have given Pareja more to think about ahead of the trip to Portland.
