Starting against SKC
Surman (undisclosed) is in the initial lineup for Saturday's clash with Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Surman ended up avoiding a serious issue from the blow that forced him to leave the field last weekend against Real Salt Lake, so he'll continue to play his usual role in upcoming games. He'll now operate alongside Kamal Miller in central defense, leaving Alex Bonetig on the bench. The 22-year-old should remain valuable for his defensive output, currently leading the squad with an average of 7.1 clearances per game.
Replaced at halftime
Surman recorded two tackles (two won) and one clearance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Real Salt Lake. He was injured and subbed out in the 46th minute.
Analysis: Surman was seen receiving bandages as he was forced to be subbed start at the start of the second half. He's featured in the starting XI in all 10 MLS appearances for Portland, recording already 71 clearances, averaging about 7.1 per contest.
