Lineups:
Homegrown signing Cameron Dunbar gets his MLS debut for LA. Otherwise, the group you’d expect.
Portland are rolling with their top lineup, essentially.
It’s been four long months, but while we haven’t yet vanquished coronavirus (please, please stay safe and healthy, everyone!) MLS is in action nonetheless, as the LA Galaxy and Portland Timbers will square off in their respective group stage openers Monday evening in the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando.
In addition to going four months between games, the Galaxy cut ties with Aleksandar Katai and Jonathan dos Santos is out for the whole tournament due to hernia surgery.
