Christopher Brady - Saves seven, concedes three Brady made seven saves in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Nashville SC.
Impact Brady did what he could to keep Chicago within striking distance, making seven saves despite the losing effort. The game could have been even more lopsided if not for the 19-year-old's effort. Two of the goals he gave up came from penalty kicks. Brady will look to help the Fire get back on track at home against St. Louis CITY SC on Saturday.

Carlos Teran - Ruled out Saturday Teran (upper leg) is ruled out for Saturday's clash with Nashville, according to the Chicago injury report.
Impact Teran was a late addition to the Chicago injury report and will be out for Saturday's match. Mauricio Pineda could get the start with Teran set to miss a match for the first time after starting all nine games to open the season. Teran is a nailed-on center-back when fit, but his late addition to the injury report is a concern that he may have aggravated the issue that forced him off last time out.

Carlos Teran - Not on injury report Teran (undisclosed) is not carrying an injury designation into Saturday's clash against Nashville SC.
Impact Teran had to come off with a knock in the first half of last weekend's draw against the Red Bulls, but there's no official indication that he's still dealing with the injury heading into the Nashville match on Saturday.

Xherdan Shaqiri - Features off bench vs. New York Shaqiri subbed in and played the final 20 minutes or so of Saturday's 1-1 draw against the Red Bulls.
