Jose Caicedo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Yet to resume full training Caicedo (thigh) has yet to resume full training, according to Timbers beat writer Adam Susman.

Impact Caicedo has been progressing in his recovery from a nagging hamstring injury, but he was doing drills on the side and not with the rest of the team -- that doesn't bode well for his chances of playing this weekend against San Jose. It wouldn't be shocking if Caicedo uses the international break to fully recover, and that would line him up to play against Sporting KC on Oct. 10 once the league resumes.

Progressing in recovery Caicedo (thigh) remains out but could be "on his way back" after Saturday's visit to Dallas, coach Marti Cifuentes said Friday, according to Jeremy Peterman of Cascadia FC.

Impact Caicedo may not require a very long recovery period while he continues to deal with a muscular problem, though he's not yet 100 percent fit for the time being. The holding midfielder served as an important defensive presence while racking up passing numbers over a string of four league starts before getting hurt, and he should have solid chances of regaining a starting spot from Joao Ortiz once he's fully fit.

Won't play vs. St. Louis City Caicedo (thigh) won't be an option for Wednesday's game against St. Louis City SC, according to Adam Susman of The Timber Review.

Impact Caicedo exited Portland's last match due to thigh pain, and it's not surprising to see the former Pumas UNAM midfielder being ruled out on a quick turnaround. With Caicedo expected to miss an undisclosed amount of time, Joao Ortiz and Diego Chara are expected to see more playing time moving forward.

Picks up muscular issue Caicedo was forced to exit in the first half of Saturday's 5-4 win over Minnesota United due to thigh pain.

Impact Caicedo had already been affected by muscular problems this season, so a potential new injury could cause serious worries in a team that had relied on him as a defensive midfielder lately. He could easily be ruled out for the upcoming double week and a few more games if a thigh issue is confirmed. In that case, Joao Ortiz and Diego Chara will be the main beneficiaries in terms of playing time.

Fit for bench Caicedo (thigh) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Seattle.

Impact Caicedo was dealing with a thigh injury ahead of the break, but has used that time to recover, as the midfielder is fit for a spot on the bench. This is a major return for the club, as they gain back a starting midfielder. This will be his first time on the team sheet not starting this season, having started in all seven of his previous appearances.

Remains questionable Caicedo (thigh) is a "major doubt" ahead of Saturday's meeting with San Jose Earthquakes, as confirmed by coach Phil Neville on Thursday, Adam Susman of The Timber Review reports.

Impact Caicedo may not see more action before the World Cup break if he fails to recover quickly from his injury. In that case, Cole Bassett will remain active alongside either Diego Chara (undisclosed) or Joao Ortiz. Prior to the problem, Caicedo served as a consistent defensive contributor over a run of six league appearances between April and May.

Forced off early against Montreal Caicedo left the field after nine minutes of Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Montreal due to a muscle issue.

Impact Caicedo succumbed to a pain and asked to be subbed off, leaving his place on the pitch to Diego Chara for the remainder of the match. The offseason signing has been a regular presence in holding midfield, averaging 54.1 accurate passes, 4.9 balls recovered and 2.6 tackles per game, so losing him reduces the Timbers' strength in defensive and possession aspects. In any case, the full extent of his injury is yet to be revealed.

Visa cleared Caicedo is expected to be an option moving forward after having his visa cleared, according to Adam Susman of Timbers FC.

Impact Caicedo has been out to begin the season after dealing with some visa issues, but is finally set for his return, an option after joining the team this week. It is unclear what role he will hold for the club, as he only signed for the team this season. He was a decent starter in Liga MX in the midfield, potentially replicating his success with his new club.

Unavailable due to visa issues Caicedo (not injury related) won't be an option to face Houston on Saturday, Adam Susman of The Timber Review reports.

Impact Caicedo completed a move from Pumas UNAM to Portland earlier this month, but he won't be able to play until his visa issues are solved. That means his next chance to play will come against the Galaxy on Sunday, March 22.

Completes Portland move Caicedo has signed with Portland Timbers through the 2029/30 season after leaving Liga MX squad Pumas, his new team announced Thursday.

Impact Caicedo adds a defensive midfield option to a side that has recently lost power due to the injury struggles of players like Diego Chara (lower body) and Cole Bassett (undisclosed). The Colombian finished his last Liga MX stint with 158 clearances, 174 tackles (110 won), three goals and two assists over 97 appearances (90 starts) since 2021, but he dropped to a substitute role since January.
