The manager expressed his dislike for the injury to the Black Stars goalkeeper but also talked of his trust in Adam Kwarasey’s replacement, Jake Gleeson saying:
"You never like injuries, but we feel like we have a really capable goalkeeper in Jake Gleeson.
“Obviously, he played in the playoffs last year in a pressure game versus Vancouver and came into this game (against San Jose) and we didn’t miss a beat."
Portland Timbers play New England Revolution away from home in their next Major League Soccer game.
