Federico Navarro - First goal involvement of the year Navarro assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to Charlotte FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.

Impact Navarro assisted within three minutes of being called off the bench. This was his first goal involvement of the season and was his first chance created this year. Across the season he has only taken three shots and therefore is unlikely to be a useful fantasy asset.

Chris Mueller - Assists final goal off the bench Mueller assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat against Charlotte FC.

Impact Mueller assisted the game's final goal in the 93rd minute as he came off the bench for a 31-minute appearance. This was the first time in eight games that he created two or more chances and his first goal involvement in 11 matches.

Wyatt Omsberg - Leaves injured Omsberg was subbed off due to injury in the 34th minute of Wednesday's 4-3 loss against Charlotte FC, per Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports Net.

Impact Omsberg picked up an injury during the scoring sequence Wednesday and was forced to come off during the first half. With Chicago's next and final game of the season not until after the international break, the defender will have an extra week to recover as he aims to be ready for the match with Nashville. He's started the last six games at center back, recording 25 clearances with 10 interceptions in that span.

Kellyn Acosta - Scores first goal since May in loss Acosta scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Charlotte FC.

Impact Acosta scored his third goal of the season and his first since May. His single shot on target was the first in six matches from three shots. With three goals, this matches his best MLS season for goals, which he also hit three in 2017 and 2022.

Tom Barlow - Late consolation goal as a sub Barlow scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat against Charlotte FC.

Impact Barlow scored a 93rd-minute goal, leaving the final score 4-3, a disappointing defeat for his side. This was Barlow's second goal of the season and his first coming off the bench. The forward has only started five of his 28 games and, therefore, won't likely be a regular fantasy option until he starts more regularly. He did, however, have two shots on target in just 31 minutes.

Fabian Herbers - Scores first goal in 27 games. Herbers scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to Charlotte FC.

Impact Herbers scored his third goal of the season, but it was only his first goal in 27 MLS games since March. It is the first time he has taken a shot in eight games and his first shot on target in 23 games. Despite bringing the game back to 1-1, regular goals or games with four shots will not be coming.

Chris Brady - Six saves but concedes four Brady made six saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to Charlotte FC.

Impact Brady conceded four goals for the fourth time this season but recorded a minimum of six saves for the fourth time. This was the ninth game in a row that the 20-year-old has failed to keep a clean sheet; however, this did end a streak of five games where he was only able to make one save.
