Report: George Fochive is returning to Portland

In the midst of enduring a brutal injury crisis, the Portland Timbers may be getting more reinforcements — this time, from a familiar face.

According to a tweet from Timbers and Thorns FC senior content producer, Richard Farley, the Timbers are set to sign defensive midfielder George Fochive as a season-ending injury replacement, presumably to help replace the loss of Andy Polo, who is out for the season.

This is ... some surprisingly good news, from #BlastFromThePast department. Getting word that @TimbersFC will be signing midfielder George Fochive as a season-ending injury replacement.
