Recent Portland Timbers signing Steven Taylor could finally make his MLS debut against the Seattle Sounders at CenturyLink Field on Sunday (6:30 p.m. PT; FS1/KIRO 97.3 FM/El Rey 1360AM).
The 30-year-old Englishman and longtime Newcastle United defender has been steadily working his way to match fitness over the last few weeks after signing with Portland on Aug. 1 and is expected to be available for selection.
He spent 13 years with the Magpies and logged over 190 English Premier League appearances.
“[Taylor] is certainly fit enough to play 90 [minutes], but is he ready, completely sharp enough, exactly where we want him to be?
