David Da Costa
25-Year-Old
Portland Timbers
MLS
OUT
Injury Shoulder
Est. Return 3/7/2026
Could miss first 3-4 games of 2026
Da Costa is not expected to feature in the initial stage of the 2026 MLS season, with coach Phil Neville commenting "It's going to take time. I don't see him being involved in the first three or four games.", Adam Susman of The Timber Review reports.
ANALYSIS
Da Costa played the last few months of the 2025 campaign through a shoulder injury and underwent surgery in November. He returned to action during an offseason friendly but apparently didn't reach a full recovery. Thus, his availability for official game action may have to wait until March. Felipe Mora and Kristoffer Velde are currently expected to start in No. 10 and left-wing spots, respectively, in Da Costa's absence.
