Brian Gutierrez - Option off bench Gutierrez (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with RBNY.

Impact Gutierrez is back on the bench after an MRI came back with positive reports and a total lack of ligament damage. It's a great sign the winger will return to the starting XI before the end of the regular season.

Rafael Czichos - Available off bench Czichos (upper leg) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with RBNY.

Impact Czichos is available off the bench after clearing his questionable tag. The defender wasn't deemed fit enough for the start but could come on if Wyatt Omsberg or Carlos Teran are forced off the pitch.

Federico Navarro - Out once again Navarro (lower leg) is out to face the Red Bulls on Saturday.

Impact Navarro doesn't have a timetable for his recovery, but his absence isn't surprising since he's already missed three matches in a row, and has ben out of the squad in seven of Chicago's last 11 contests. Though unlikely, Navarro's next chance to play will come against Inter Miami on Oct. 4. Gaston Gimenez and Ousmane Doumbia should continue handling the central midfield duties going forward.

Mauricio Pineda - Ruled out to face NYRB Pineda (lower leg) has been ruled out to face the Red Bulls on Saturday.

Impact Pineda missed last week's match against New England after suffering an injury against Columbus on Sep. 20, and with the team all but out of playoff contention, he might not get risked until the end of the campaign. Though unlikely, his next chance to play will come against Inter Miami on Oct. 4.

Brian Gutierrez - Avoids major injury Gutierrez was able to avoid a major injury after the MRI revealed no serious damage to his knee and is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against the Red Bulls. "The MRI,...

Impact Gutierrez received good news Wednesday that there is no serious damage to his knee after going down hard against New England on Saturday. He still remains questionable, depending on how well he progresses the swelling in his knee. In any case, Ousmane Doumbia could get the start at center midfield, alongside Gaston Gimenez.

Rafael Czichos - Questionable again Czichos (upper leg) was not in training Tuesday and is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against the Red Bulls, per Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports Net.

Impact Czichos earns another questionable tag as he did not train yet again as he continues to deal with an upper leg injury. Wyatt Omsberg and Carlos Teran are the expected pair to lineup at center back if the defender is not fit to play again.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Arnaud Souquet - Clears suspension Souquet has served his one-match suspension and is set to be an option for Saturday's clash against the Red Bulls.

Impact Souquet is expected to return to the lineup after serving his one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation. He's started four of the last six games played, logging in 10 crosses (two accurate) and nine clearances in that span.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Xherdan Shaqiri - Serves suspension Shaqiri finished serving his one-match suspension and is set to be available for Saturday's match against the New York Red Bulls.

Impact Shaqiri has started eight of the last 11 matches played, recording two goals and one assist with 50 crosses (11 accurate) and 12 chances created in that span. He is now averaging about 4.2 crosses per game.

Brian Gutierrez - Goal and assist before injury Gutierrez was subbed off due to injury in the 94th minute of Saturday's 2-2 draw versus New England. He scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and seven chances created b...

Impact Gutierrez scored the Fire's first goal and logged an assist to their second, scored by Gaston Gimenez. However, he suffered a late injury that ultimately prevented his full participation Saturday. Gutierrez was the Fire's best player then, a promising turn of events after his relatively lackluster form produced between August and mid-September.

Gaston Gimenez - Finally scores goal Gaston Gimenez scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against New England Revolution. In additio...

Impact Gimenez has his first goal of 2023. Unsurprisingly, the defensive midfielder hasn't been an active goalscorer, having not logged any goals since 2021. Gimenez's latest goal marks a conclusion to an unwelcome streak but a feat that is not expected from him even sporadically.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Jonathan Dean Jr - Starts, logs assist Dean assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against New England Revolution.

Impact Dean was given his first start since August. The right-back put good use to it, logging an assist of a goal scored by Brian Gutierrez. Ideally for Dean, this will be an indication of what is to come in terms of opportunities. Considering the assist marked Dean's first assist of 2023, they are all he is probably hoping for moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christopher Brady - Allows two goals Brady had one save and conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus New England Revolution.

Impact Carles Gil and Tomas Chancalay scored past Brady, who conceded goals more than he logged saves for a second consecutive game. The goalkeeper will try to redeem himself during Chicago's next game, currently scheduled Saturday at New York Red Bulls.
