On bench Saturday

Roldan (hip) is on the bench for the weekend's matchup versus Portland Timbers.

Analysis: Roldan has regained enough fitness to be an option following a four-game absence. He's an important defender for the Sounders and will look to build momentum over the next few weeks and become a solid right-back pick at some point, with winger Paul Arriola currently being deployed in that position. Roldan has generated 21 tackles and 26 clearances across 11 games played this season.

Trending toward returning

Roldan (hip) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Timbers, according to Niko Moreno of Sounder at Heart.

Analysis: Roldan participated in full training Friday, so the veteran defender should be back in the mix for a depleted Seattle team in this rivalry matchup. Roldan hasn't played in the Sounders' last four games, but when healthy, he's been a regular starter. Playing at either right-back or center-back, Roldan has nine starts out of 11 league appearances.
