The Portland Timbers loaned forward Nathan Fogaca to USL squad San Antonio FC on Thursday for the remainder of the 2023 season.
This season, Fogaca has appeared in 18 matches (six starts) across all competitions for the Timbers, recording one goal and three assists — including one goal and two assists in 16 MLS matches (five starts).
The 24-year-old debuted for the club in 2022, registering two goals in 12 appearances (five starts) across all competitions.
The Brazilian striker initially signed with the Timbers 2, or T2, the organization’s reserve squad in MLS Next Pro, on April 22, 2022, via transfer from Brazilian club Coritiba.
The Timbers also announced Thursday that forward Jaroslaw Niezgoda had successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery on his right knee. The procedure was performed by Dr. Richard Edelson in Portland.
The 28-year-old Poland native was injured Aug. 20 against Houston Dynamo FC and will miss the rest of the season with his return approximately in nine months. He played in 20 games, making five starts and scoring one goal.
Niezgoda also torn his ACL in November 2020.
