Won't play vs. St. Louis City
Caicedo (thigh) won't be an option for Wednesday's game against St. Louis City SC, according to Adam Susman of The Timber Review.
Analysis: Caicedo exited Portland's last match due to thigh pain, and it's not surprising to see the former Pumas UNAM midfielder being ruled out on a quick turnaround. With Caicedo expected to miss an undisclosed amount of time, Joao Ortiz and Diego Chara are expected to see more playing time moving forward.
Picks up muscular issue
Caicedo was forced to exit in the first half of Saturday's 5-4 win over Minnesota United due to thigh pain.
Analysis: Caicedo had already been affected by muscular problems this season, so a potential new injury could cause serious worries in a team that had relied on him as a defensive midfielder lately. He could easily be ruled out for the upcoming double week and a few more games if a thigh issue is confirmed. In that case, Joao Ortiz and Diego Chara will be the main beneficiaries in terms of playing time.
