Portland TimbersFit to play
Fory (undisclosed) is not dealing with a significant injury following his forced substitution against LAFC and could play in future action, Adam Susman of The Timber Review reports.
Analysis: Fory could retain his left-back spot going forward, in which case Ian Smith will continue to offer backup off the bench. The Colombian's form has been improving lately, with his offensive efforts leading to a pair of assists over the last four games in all competitions, making his availability great news for a side that will need both attacking and defensive power as they look to climb in the standings during the second half of the regular season.
Off injured
Fory was injured and subbed out in the 56th minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Los Angeles Football Club, confirmed head coach Marti Cifuentes per Timbers Broadcaster Adam Susman.
Analysis: Fory was forced off in the 56th minute on Saturday with a suspected injury. This could be a significant loss for Portland, as he has missed just one start in 2026, playing and starting all 20 matches while assisting twice, producing 60 clearances, and winning 35 tackles.
Assists in solid two-way outing
Fory assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over San Diego FC.
Analysis: The left back assisted on Portland's second goal, scored by Ariel Lassiter, marking his second assist in his last three matches across all competitions, including one in his previous League Cup outing, and extending his run of creating at least one chance in each of his last five league games. Fory drew three fouls in a physical showing but rounded it out with a solid defensive performance, recording one clearance, two interceptions and four tackles. Across his last six games, he has racked up 13 tackles, 17 interceptions and 13 clearances, with at least one clearance and interception in every game and at least two tackles in five of the six.
Assists in Thursday's win
Fory assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Thursday's 5-1 victory versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Fory recorded his first assist of the season Thursday as he connected with Kevin Kelsy's head in the 19th minute to open up the scoring. It was the only chance he created in the match and marked just his fifth through 13 matches this season. He was active on the defensive end too as he recorded two clearances, one interception and one blocked shot across his full 90 minutes of action.
Starts Wednesday
Fory (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup to face Montreal on Wednesday.
Analysis: Fory has recovered from a slight issue that put his participation in doubt for this game. Thus, he'll look to get significant minutes at left-back, leaving Ian Smith among the substitutes. The Colombian has focused on defensive duties throughout the season, averaging 4.3 clearances, 1.9 interceptions and 1.5 tackles per game.
Hurt in win
Fory (undisclosed) was injured and subbed out in the 61st minute of Saturday's 6-0 win versus Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Fory exited the match in the 61st minute due to an injury. He had played 90 the previous six of the seven games played, appearing in the starting XI all 10 times as he averages about 4.3 clearances a contest.
