On bench at Colorado Loria (knee) is among the substitute options Saturday against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Loria has yet to make his season debut following a long absence due to a ligament problem, so he may only be considered for few minutes for now. In any case, his comeback strengthens the team's attacking depth on the wings, but he's expected to face tough competition with Jonathan Rodriguez and Antony also available.

Suffers knee injury Loria will be out for around six to nine months after undergoing a successful anterolateral ligament reconstruction and meniscectomy, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Loria, unfortunately, maybe in jeopardy of missing all of the 2024 campaign after undergoing knee surgery this week. This is a brutal blow for the midfielder, as they are only two weeks away from the start of the season, and he now most likely won't see the field until around September or October, if he even sees the field at all. However, the club doesn't take the biggest hit from this current situation, with the player only starting nine times in 17 appearances last season, notching a minimal one-goal contribution across those games. He will now look for a decent recovery process and no further setbacks in his health, hoping to at least play a little this season and not miss the entirety of the campaign.

Sees shaky rule Loria made 17 appearances (nine starts) and played 760 minutes in 2023.

Impact Loria's role in 2023 was disappointing, though it wasn't much different than 2022. Loria is still under contract for 2024, but it seems he is set to remain more of a depth option moving forward. Loria made his last appearance of 2023 all the way back on July 16.

Takes four shots vs. Kansas City Loria took four shots (two on target) and won three of three tackles in Monday's 1-0 victory against Sporting KC.

Impact Loria got the start on the left wing for the Timbers' 2023 opener on Monday, and he played well on both sides of the ball in the win over SKC. There is plenty of competition for the winger roles in Portland with Santiago Moreno, Yimmi Chara (hamstring), Dairon Asprilla (knee) and Sebastian Blanco (knee) all in the mix, so expect some rotation throughout the season when everyone is healthy.

Impact Loria was extremely dangerous upon his introduction into Saturday's game, and he finally opened the scoring in the 96th minute by slotting home the rebound from his own saved penalty shot. He has started in just two of his side's 10 MLS matches since the start of June, but this performance against Dallas may have earned him some more opportunities.

Impact Loria found the back of the net less than five minutes into his introduction against Kansas City, but Saturday's game had long been over as this was the seventh goal on the night for Portland.

Impact Loria has made 79 appearances in all competitions since joining Portland's first team in 2019, but he's yet to consistently break into the first choice XI as he's started 35 total MLS matches across his three seasons at the club. Still, the 24-year-old winger has now signed on with the Timbers through 2024 at least.

On bench against Los Angeles Loria is in Portland's match day squad for Sunday's clash against the Galaxy.

Impact Loria has been successful while the Timbers used formations not including attacking midfielders. He contributed to four goals across eight starts as a right midfielder or winger. That is an impressive rate, especially considering Loria isn't known for scoring and assisting.

AUGUST 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Creates one chance in loss Loria created one chance from two crosses (one accurate) during the first half of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Minnesota United.

Impact Loria has completed just one full 90 all season and never created more than a single chance in any one game. In a team that's overly reliant on Diego Valeri for production, this isn't a good sign for Loria's value or any other non-scoring attacker. Up next is a trip to the LA Galaxy, which have conceded the fourth-most goals in MLS through 15 games played.

Late test for Saturday Loria is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Dallas because of a leg injury.

Impact Loria assisted in Portland's last match all the way back on July 2, but it looks like he suffered a leg injury at some point in the last two weeks.

Back in starting XI Loria (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Austin.

Impact Loria was rested last weekend after being involved in an on-field collision June 24, but it looks like he's good to go again. He's in his usual role on the right wing, though while he's scored a couple goals there this season, he's been subbed off by the 70th minute in each of his last three starts.
