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

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.
