When: 4.
Where: Home Depot Center.
On the air: TV: KDOC, KWHY. Radio: 1150, 1330.
Records: Galaxy 3-8-2, Portland 3-5-4.
Record vs. Portland: Galaxy leads 1-0.
Update: The Galaxy needs a win to climb out of the Western Conference basement, but it will have to do that with a severely depleted roster. Captain Landon Donovan has returned from the U.S. national team, and goalkeeper Josh Saunders is back after missing nearly two months while rehabbing from an undisclosed condition under the league's Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health treatment program. But forward Robbie Keane remains on international duty with Ireland; Mike Magee, Hector Jimenez and Michael Stephens will miss this match with suspensions; and Edson Buddle, Adam Cristman, Andrew Boyens and Dan Keat are sidelined with injuries. That could be bad news for a team that wasn't playing all that well with those guys, going winless since the third week of April and allowing more goals than all but one MLS team this season.
