Facing longer term absence
Aravena is dealing with a longer term injury tied to his hip issue, according to coach Jack Cassidy, per Jeremy Peterman.
Analysis: Aravena had already been ruled out for the time being after the initial hip injury was announced, and this update confirms his absence will extend beyond a short term issue, with a timeline of six to eight weeks expected. Portland's wide attack loses a dynamic piece without him, with the club needing to lean on Antony and Ariel Lassiter as its main sources of goals and creativity in the meantime. Aravena is expected to be reassessed as his recovery progresses.
Out with hip injury
Aravena (hip) has been ruled out for the time being after picking up a hip injury, the league announced Friday.
Analysis: Aravena has been one of Portland's most creative and direct attacking options from the left flank when given enough playing time. Without him, Portland's wide attack loses a dynamic piece, and the club will need to rely on Antony and Ariel Lassiter as its main sources of goals and creativity. The severity of the hip problem will determine whether this is a short-term absence or something that costs the Chilean more significant time.
