Xherdan Shaqiri - Starting against Philly Shaqiri (illness) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's match against Philadelphia.

Impact Shaqiri was not expected to find his way into the lineup but did it anyway, and there's no question his return provides a huge boost for the Fire in the attacking third. The Swiss International will slot in his regular No. 10 role behind Kacper Przybylko.

Federico Navarro - Facing fitness test for Wednesday Navarro is listed as questionable with a knee injury in Chicago's injury report for Wednesday's clash against the Union.

Impact Navarro played 80 minutes of last weekend's loss to the Dynamo, and he will now be a game time decision against Philadelphia. With Mauricio Pineda in the health and safety protocols, Chris Mueller could be pushed back into midfield if Navarro isn't fit enough to play.

Kacper Przybylko - Subs off early injured Przybylko took two shots (one on target) and created one chance before subbing off in the 67th minute with an undisclosed injury on Saturday's 2-0 loss at Houston.

Impact Przybylko was having a quiet outing before subbing off in the 67th minute with an undisclosed issue. The forward scored three goals in the season in 13 appearances (11 starts). He will likely start again when they host Philadelphia on Wednesday, but should be replaced by Jhon Duran if not cleared to play.

Federico Navarro - Makes two tackles at Houston Navarro registered one chance created, two tackles (both won) and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 loss at Houston.

Impact Navarro had a pretty quiet outing and could not do much to avoid the road loss, as they went to halftime already trailing 2-0. The midfielder has yet to score or assist in the season, and also received his third yellow card. They will now host Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Gabriel Slonina - Makes three saves in loss Slonina made three saves and two clearances during Saturday's 2-0 loss at Houston.

Impact Slonina had a game to forget, conceding twice in the first half as they ended up with the road loss. The goalkeeper has six clean sheets in the season so far, but only one in his last nine starts. He will now look to bounce back when they host Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Xherdan Shaqiri - Out with illness Shaqiri missed Saturday's defeat against the Dynamo due to illness, Chicago announced before the game.

Impact Shaqiri looked set to return to the lineup after recovering from a knock on his thigh this week, but he ended up being a late scratch anyway with an illness. Brian Gutierrez continues in attacking midfield in his place.

Carlos Teran - Starting Saturday Teran (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Houston.

Impact Teran is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Houston, as he returns from a knee injury. The defender slots straight into the starting XI meaning he passed any-and-all fitness tests before Saturday's match. Teran has made three starts this season all coming since the start of May when he began to move into the starting XI.

Mauricio Pineda - Out with illness Pineda will miss Saturday's clash against the Dynamo while in the health and safety protocols, according to Chicago's injury report.

Impact Wyatt's Omsberg's foot surgery has opened the door for another center back to take over as starter for the rest of the season, but Carlos Teran (knee) is questionable for Saturday and Pineda will be unavailable as well. Jonathan Bornstein or Andre Reynolds II could be next in line if Teran isn't able to start against Houston.

Carlos Teran - Facing fitness test for weekend Teran is listed as questionable with a knee injury in Chicago's injury reports for Saturday's clash against the Dynamo.

Impact Teran is slated to take over as a starter in central defense following Wyatt Omsberg's foot surgery this week, but a knee injury of his own could complicate matters. With Mauricio Pineda (illness) also out against Houston, 37-year-old Jonathan Bornstein or 21-year-old Andre Reynolds II would be the options to fill in if Teran can't play on Saturday.

Jairo Torres - Still week away from return Torres (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash against the Dynamo, Chicago manager Ezra Hendrickson said Thursday.

Impact Torres missed last weekend's win over D.C. United with a hip injury, and he will be out against Houston as well. The new signing has been limited to just one MLS start so far, but he will be targeting a return to action at some point next week.

Wyatt Omsberg - To undergo foot surgery Omsberg is set to miss at least three months while he recovers from a foot surgery he will undergo this week, Chicago manager Ezra Hendrickson said Thursday.

Impact This injury is a bad break for Omsberg as the 26-year-old had finally become a consistent starter in central defense this season until he injured his foot during stoppage time of last weekend's win over D.C. United. It's possible his campaign is over now as a result of this foot surgery, and Chicago's remaining center back options don't look especially promising as Rafael Czichos has already missed five league games due to various injuries, and backups Carlos Teran and Mauricio Pineda have both been spotty.

Xherdan Shaqiri - Should be available for weekend Shaqiri (thigh) is expected to be fit and ready to play in Saturday's clash against the Dynamo, Chicago manager Ezra Hendrickson said Thursday.

Impact Shaqiri missed last weekend's win over D.C. United with a thigh injury he suffered during the international break, but he has recovered and seems likely to return to the starting lineup against Houston.
