Eric Avila and Nermin Crnkic are no longer on trial with the Portland Timbers.

Both players were training with Portland while the club was in Tucson, Arizona, but Timbers coach Caleb Porter said that Avila and Crnkic are no longer with the team and the club does not have any trialists in training at the moment.

Even though the club isn't currently looking at any trialists, Porter reiterated that they are still in the process of making a new signing at the winger position.

Porter said that he expects Dairon Asprilla and Lucas Melano to be Portland's starters on the wing heading into the regular season, but said that the club still needs to add depth at the position.

Porter said that the Timbers could be announcing a new signing at the winger position soon.

"We're definitely looking to sign a guy and I'm hoping in the next couple weeks," Porter said. "We've honed in on a couple targets, two targets in particular. We're going to make a decision on one and then hopefully we can get the deal done."
