SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica – There are four former Deportivo Saprissa players in camp with the Portland Timbers this preseason, but for one of them, Monday’s friendly against a selection of Saprissa players must have felt slightly different. Perhaps that’s because neither David Guzmán nor Marvin Loría were on the field, while veteran defender Roy Miller spent only one season with the club.
Julio Cascante wasn’t with the club for much longer, joining the Costa Rican titans in 2016 after his time for CF Universidad de Costa Rica.
