Dealing with upper body issue Mabiala (upper body) was not an option for Saturday's 2-2 draw to Houston, per Jeremy Peterman of the Cascadia F.C.
Impact Mabiala made just one appearances this season as he continues to lack fitness while struggling to regain form from injuries. Even if fit, the defender is not expected to be much of an impact despite getting one start in the one appearances this campaign.

Listed on bench Mabiala (leg) is on the bench for Saturday's match against LAFC.
Impact Mabiala will miss no time after dealing with a leg injury over the week that gave a slight scare when he was forced to train on the side. The defender will most likely remain on the bench moving forward even though he is healthy, as he has yet to earn a single minute this campaign.

Training on side Mabiala (leg) is training on the side Wednesday, per Jeremy Peterman of the Cascadia FC.
Impact Mabiala is still working his way to make his appearance on the pitch as he continues to struggle with injuries. He's fallen out of favorite in the last few seasons, resulting in just nine starts in 21 appearances during the 2023 campaign.

Role dwindles Mabiala made 21 appearances (nine starts) in 2023 and scored once.
Impact Mabiala had a brutal season, he fell out of the starting XI and played under 1,000 minutes for the first time since joining the club. The fact that his minutes dwindled so heavily during a season where he was a healthy is a tremendous concern going forward, and seems a likely indicator of his role being non-existent moving forward.

Scores rare goal Mabiala scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Mabiala opened up the scoring in Saturday's match when he found the back of the net in the 28th minute to take a 1-0 lead. It was the defenders first goal of the season and his first since the 2021 campaign. The 35-year-old has been in out of the lineup much of this season, only registering eight starts in 17 apperances, making his goal even more rare. He also contributed a decent amount in the defense, notching a clean sheet to go along with one tackle, a block and four clearances in Saturday's victory.

Returns to bench Mabiala (lower leg) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Columbus.

Ruled out for Tuesday Mabiala is out with a lower leg injury for the midweek clash against the Rapids, according to Portland's availability report for the match.
Impact Mabiala has started just seven of the Timbers' 21 league matches this season, but his absence due to injury Tuesday will be felt as Zac McGraw is still away on international duty at the Gold Cup. Manager Giovanni Savarese might have to play someone out of position to fill in alongside Dario Zuparic in central defense.

Impact Mabiala was making his fifth start of the season Sunday filling in for the suspended Dario Zuparic in central defense, but he scored an own goal that put the game out of reach for his side.
MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Takes two shots in start vs. Austin Mabiala made seven clearances, four interceptions and won four of four tackles in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Austin FC. He also took two shots in the match.
Impact Mabiala got the start in central defense Saturday while Zac McGraw was suspended, and he was active on both sides of the ball. Mabiala still seems to be the backup choice behind McGraw and Dario Zuparic and should return to the bench by next weekend.

Four clearances in loss Mabiala made four clearances and an interception in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against St. Louis City.

Out with illness Portland manager Giovanni Savarese said Thursday that Mabiala has entered the health and safety protocols and will miss Saturday's clash against Sporting KC.
Impact Mabiala has started each of the Timbers' last five MLS games in central defense, but he has been ruled out for Saturday's match. Bill Tuiloma will likely return to the lineup in his place, or Zac McGraw is an option as well.

Available Saturday Mabiala (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Dallas.

Nearing return Portland manager Giovanni Savarese said Wednesday that Mabiala (groin) is approaching full fitness, according to Ryan Clarke of the Oregonian.
Impact Mabiala has been out since undergoing surgery on his groin in January, but he, along with fellow center back Dario Zuparic (groin) are close to being healthy enough to return. They'll have to displace Bill Tuiloma and Zac McGraw to earn back their spots in the XI.
