David Da Costa News: Plays 55 minutes Wednesday

Da Costa (shoulder) played 55 minutes in Wednesday's defeat against Club America in the Leagues Cup, confirming he is back from injury.

Da Costa was forced off late in their last contest after sustaining a shoulder injury in a counter attack. That injury appeared to be minor since he was already back on the pitch on Wednesday and played 55 minutes while providing the assist for the opening goal by Ariel Lassiter. This is good news for the former Lens player since he is a key piece for the Timbers in his first season and they will need him fit for the final stretch of the campaign.
