BDS Notes:
As we hit the final ten games, the big one on the injury report today is goalkeeper Maarten Paes being out with an upper leg injury. This means we'll get Homegrown keeper Michael Collodi in goal tomorrow against the Timbers.
It is also possible we'll get to see another newcomer, Lucious Dee Deedson earn his first appearance on the game day roster. On top of that, we should see Anderson Julio return to action for the first time in a few weeks, too.
Outside of all of that, we're still seeing Paxton Pomykal on the injury report for another match. You really have to wonder if we're going to see him on the field again for FC Dallas this season.
The Timbers enter tomorrow's game with only a pair of injuries, both fairly important players to their attack. But on top of that, they are also coming off three games in the Leagues Cup since the end of July, including a penalty kick loss on Wednesday night to Club America. There should be some tired legs.
