Miguel Navarro - Returns to club Navarro (not injury related) was an unused substitute in Saturday's draw against D.C. United.

Maren Haile-Selassie - Creates three chances in draw Haile-Selassie took a shot and created three chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw against D.C. United.

Impact Haile-Selassie has started each of Chicago's last three matches on the right wing, taking three shots and creating five chances during that span. He'll likely return to the bench once players like Xherdan Shaqiri (upper leg) and Jairo Torres (hamstring) return from injury, but the 24-year-old loan signing from FC Lugano has proven to be solid backup option in the meantime.

Fabian Herbers - Takes two shots against D.C. Herbers took two shots and made a clearance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against D.C. United.

Impact Herbers has started three of Chicago's first five matches of the season in defensive midfield, and he seems to be the preferred option alongside Gaston Gimenez in the position at least while Jairo Torres (hamstring), Federico Navarro (hamstring) and Xherdan Shaqiri (upper leg) are out with injuries.

Brian Gutierrez - Key playmaker in scoreless draw Gutierrez generated two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against D.C. United.

Impact Gutierrez was Chicago's brightest player on Saturday in what was a lackluster scoreless draw. The attacking midfielder created the Fire's best opportunities and had two shots-at-goal himself. The 19-year-old will be one to watch, he provided an assist in each of his previous two games and it is likely more assists, and ultimately goals, will materialize in coming games.

Chris Mueller - Menacing playmaker in draw Mueller recorded four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus D.C. United.

Impact Mueller was a menacing playmaker and one of the Fire's set piece target men on Saturday. The midfielder showed confidence in his attacking efforts and came close to scoring with a header that flew just wide of the post. He is in good form (scored in previous two games) and from this performance it will not be long before he delivers assists and further goals. From five appearances (four starts) he has scored twice.

Christopher Brady - Delivers first clean sheet Brady recorded three saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against D.C. United.

Impact Brady played well on Saturday, he pulled off three saves and secured his first clean sheet of the season. He will need to maintain his form for the Fire's next game against Minnesota United. United have scored in every match this season. From four appearances (all starts) he has conceded six (1.5 per game) and performed 14 saves (3.5 per game, 70%) .

Impact Bezerra made his return to the bench against Kansas City but lands straight back on the injury report. He has yet to make his season debut, and even when fully fit would likely be more of a depth option than anything else.

Impact Navarro finds himself on the sideline with an upper leg injury.

Impact Shaqiri is questionable for Saturday's match, upgrading after being ruled out against Inter Miami. The forward has missed two matches due to the injury and will hope to return to the center of the attack. If Shaqiri is unable to go it would be Brian Gutierrez straight back in the starting XI.

Arnaud Souquet - Takes two shots in win Souquet took two shots and created a chance in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Inter Miami. He also made two clearances and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Gutierrez set up Kei Kamara's 92nd-minute winner Saturday for his second assist in as many matches in attacking midfield. He's taken five shots and created four chances overall in that span, and has proven he should at least be considered to maintain the starting spot in the position even once Xherdan Shaqiri (upper leg) returns to fitness.

Kei Kamara - Scores goal off bench Kamara subbed into Saturday's match against Inter Miami in the 63rd minute, scoring a goal in the 3-2 victory.

Impact Kamara returned from a red card suspension and brought the dramatics Saturday, scoring a 92nd-minute game winner to ruin Miami's comeback attempt. At 38 years old, he is unlikely to be able to start every match for the Fire, but he can continue to be a significant impact substitute like this.
