Cristhian Paredes News: Unused substitute Wednesday

Paredes (undisclosed) was an unused substitute in Wednesday's 4-0 win over San Luis in the Leagues Cup, confirming he is back available for Portland.

Paredes came off injured in their last contest against Los Angeles FC, but the injury proved to be only a minor one, as he was already back available on the bench for Wednesday's Leagues Cup game. That said, he has mainly been a bench option this season, although he started in the last two MLS games, so his return shouldn't impact the starting XI much.
