Back in regular role Chara has started three of the last four matches, producing one shot, three chances created and 11 tackles (seven won).
Impact Chara doesn't have much fantasy value as a defensive midfielder, but he's a definite boost in the midfield for the Timbers. With Yimmi Chara set to return to the squad, those two are likely to be deployed as defensive midfielders in upcoming contests, similar to how they started earlier this season, especially with Eryk Williamson away on international duty.

Returns to training Chara (hamstring) participated in team training Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against Sporting KC, according to Kyle Pinnell of Rose City Review.
Impact Chara has been out for the past month because of the injury, so it wouldn't be surprising if he was on the bench this weekend if he passes fit. Then again, the Timbers are dealing with a plethora of injuries, so they could use him as soon as he's ready. If Chara cannot play Saturday, his next opportunity will come Wednesday against Houston.
