Diego Chara - 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.

Larrys Mabiala - Returns to training Mabiala (hamstring) was a participant in training Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against Sporting KC, according to Kyle Pinnell of Rose City Review.
Impact Mabiala has been out for about a month because of the injury, which has allowed Bill Tuiloma to partner Dario Zuparic in central defense. It's unclear if Mabiala is fit for Saturday's match, though it wouldn't be surprising if he was on the bench given the length of his layoff. If he's unable to start, his next opportunity to get his starting job back will come Wednesday at Houston.

Steve Clark - Expected to return Saturday Clark (lower leg) is expected to play Saturday against Sporting KC, Paul Danzer of the Portland Tribune reports.
Impact Clark has been sidelined since suffering the injury in the opening match of the season, but a return to training over the international break will likely have him back in the starting XI, as Aljaz Ivacic (abdomen) is still out.

Yimmi Chara - Remains away Chara will not be available for Saturday's match against Sporting KC because he is away on international duty at Copa America, Tyler Tachman of The Oregonian reports.

Sebastian Blanco - Could return Saturday Blanco (knee) could make his season debut Saturday against Sporting KC, Tyler Tachman of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Blanco has been out since suffering a torn ACL back in September, and then he suffered a muscular injury during his recovery. He seems unlikely to start in his first match back following the lengthy layoff, but it seems only a matter of time before he's back in the starting XI. If he's unable to play Saturday, Blanco's next opportunity will come Wednesday at Houston.
