Marvin Loria - Records assist at Kansas City Loria recorded one assist with three chances created, two crosses (one accurate) and one corner during a 1-1 draw Wednesday at Kansas City.

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.

Diego Chara - Supplies great defense Chara recorded five interceptions and three tackles (all won) during a 1-1 draw Wednesday at Kansas City.

Impact Chara supplied his best 2021 stat line defense-wise. Including winning all recorded tackles, the midfielder also logged more interceptions than he had during any other Timbers game this year.

AUGUST 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Claudio Bravo - Continues to log many interceptions Bravo recorded four interceptions during a 1-1 draw Wednesday at Kansas City.

Impact Bravo has remained an aggressive defender despite receiving little time to rest from the 2020 Summer Olympics. He recorded 17 interceptions across his last four games played.

Eryk Williamson - Questionable against Kansas City Williamson (undisclosed) is listed questionable for Wednesday's clash against Sporting KC.

Impact Williamson is observing health and safety protocols, so he will be a game time decision for Wednesday's match.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jaroslaw Niezgoda - Subs in against Seattle Niezgoda subbed into Sunday's defeat against the Sounders in the 87th minute and he played the final three minutes of the match.

Impact Niezgoda made his first appearance since November on Sunday after recovering from an ACL tear. He is still working his way back to full fitness and might get some more playing time Wednesday against Sporting KC, even if he is unlikely to start just yet.

Yimmi Chara - Extensive impact despite loss Yimmi Chara took two shots (one on goal), created five scoring chances and put in five crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 6-2 loss to Seattle.

Impact Yimmi Chara also added two tackles won on top of his extensive attacking output. He's been a great source of chances created and accurate crosses as of late and should be an important player heading into Wednesday's trip to Sporting KC.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dairon Asprilla - Produces solid attacking numbers Asprilla took four shots (one on goal), created two scoring chances and put in seven crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 6-2 loss to Seattle.

Impact Asprilla tied his season-high with four shots well recording a season-high in crosses. He's a key part of Portland's attacking setup and should come back into the starting XI for Wednesday's trip to Sporting KC, which won't be any easier for a Portland side who aren't playing particular well.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aljaz Ivacic - Concedes six goals during loss Ivacic made two saves and conceded six goals during Sunday's 6-2 loss to Seattle.

Impact Ivacic and Portland were tied at 2-2 in the 52nd minute but Seattle was able to find the back of the net four more times by the end of 90 minutes. He's been filling in for the injured Jeff Antinella and hasn't played particularly well. Ivacic is expected to come back into the starting XI for Wednesday's trip to Sporting KC.
