David Da Costa News: Returns in pre-season friendly

Published on January 24, 2026

Da Costa (shoulder) is back fit for Portland after returning in a pre-season friendly against LA Galaxy, the club posted.

Da Costa fully recovered over the break from the shoulder injury that required a surgery late November. The playmaker looks set to build his fitness ahead of the 2026 MLS season with the Timbers as he should regain his undisputed starter role in the frontline of Portland.
