Fire end 10-game winless streak, beat KC 1-0 on Herbers goal CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Fire ended a 10-game league winless streak, beating D.C. United 1-0 Saturday night on a 78th-minute goal by secon...
Gabriel Slonina - Records sixth clean sheet of season Slonina recorded a shutout in Saturday's 1-0 win against D.C. United.
Impact Slonina accumulated his sixth clean sheet of the season reaching his career best just before the end of June. The goalkeeper has been very strong for Chicago making 28 saves in just 15 matches for his 2022 campaign. After starting in every game this season, Slonina is looking at being one of the top goalkeepers for the season and is likely to solidify himself within the starting XI.
JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Czichos - Six clearances in win Czichos recorded two interceptions and six clearances during Saturday's 1-0 win over D.C. United.
Impact Czichos has proved he is a top defender for Chicago after preventing multiple offensive attacks by the D.C. United squad. With a solid win for his squad, Czichos will likely become a key contributor to the Chicago defense for the remainder of the 2022 season.
JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Gaston Gimenez - Four chances created in loss Gimenez recorded three shots (two on target) and created four chances during Saturday's 1-0 win over D.C. United.
Impact Gimenez had a strong playmaking performance after creating several opportunities for the Chicago squad. The midfielder has been a viable player for the 2022 campaign recording 13 starts and 14 appearances which put him into the starting XI for majority of the season. With his recovery from his hip injury in early May, Gimenez is likely to be right back into starting and creating opportunities for the Chicago squad.
JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kacper Przybylko - Assist in win Przybylko recorded an assist and created four chances in Saturday's 1-0 win over D.C. United.
Impact Przybylko recorded an assist in the 78th minute for the Chicago squad to get a late lead in the match. The forward has been a top offensive threat for Chicago with three goals and one assist in just ten starts for the 2022 season. With one goal and one assist in his last two matches, expect Przybylko to have a larger contribution to the starting XI.
JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Fabian Herbers - Scores one in win Herbers scored one goal on two shots (one on target) during Saturday's 1-0 win over D.C. United.
Impact Herbers was effective coming off the bench grabbing the lead for Chicago in the 78th minute. Overall, Herbers has had an underwhelming 2022 campaign with only six starts, one goal and one assist so far. However, with his first goal of the season, it is unlikely for Hebers to obtain a permanent place in the starting XI moving forward.

Wyatt Omsberg - Comes off injured against D.C. Omsberg was subbed out of Saturday's victory against D.C. United in the 95th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He made two blocks, six clearances and took three shots (one...
Impact Omsberg returned from the health and safety protocols and played well on both sides of the ball Saturday until his late injury in stoppage time. The severity is unclear at the moment but more details are likely to emerge in the coming days. Carlos Teran could replace him in central defense if necessary.

Spencer Richey - On bench Saturday Richey (head) is on the bench for Saturday's match against D.C. United.
Impact Richey is on the bench for Saturday's match after missing almost a month with a head injury. The keeper is unlikely to get on the pitch while Gabriel Slonina still plays for Chicago.
JUNE 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mauricio Pineda - Removed from injury report Pineda (lower leg) was absent from the Chicago injury report ahead of Saturday's clash with D.C. United.
Impact Pineda came off at halftime against NYCFC with what was a more serious injury than originally thought. The defender was ruled out a week later against Toronto but has now been fully removed from the injury report. The hope for Chicago is that he is able to make a full return, Pineda's versatility in central defense and midfield has proved incredibly valuable to a defensively strong Chicago side. Pineda will hope to make an appearance off the bench to test his fitness, though the absence of Miguel Navarro (illness) could push him straight back into the starting XI.

Jairo Torres - Late call Saturday Torres (hip) is a doubt for Saturday's match with D.C. United due to a hip injury.
Impact Torres is a doubt for Saturday's match after picking up a hip injury. The attacking midfielder has appeared in four matches since joining Chicago, starting his most recent match against Toronto. The club and player will both hope this hip injury proves to be minor as they look to avoid derailing his start to life in the windy city. Fabian Herbers was brought on to replace Torres against Toronto.
JUNE 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Navarro - Unavailable Saturday Navarro (illness) was added to health and safety protocols and will miss Saturday's clash with D.C. United.
Impact Navarro was added to health and safety protocols before Saturday's match against D.C. United. The defender could be replaced by the returning Wyatt Omsberg, though his absence may necessitate a slight change in role for those around him. Navarro has started all but two matches for Chicago this season, going the full 90 in 11 of his 12 starts.
JUNE 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Wyatt Omsberg - Exits health and safety protocols Omsberg (illness) exited health and safety protocols before Saturday's clash with D.C. United.
Impact Omsberg was absent from the Chicago Fire injury report, evidently exiting health and safety protocols. The defender is off to a quick start in the 2022 campaign and will look to slot straight back into the starting XI, ahead of Carlos Teran.
JUNE 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Xherdan Shaqiri - Ruled out Saturday Shaqiri (thigh) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with D.C. United with a thigh injury.
Impact Shaqiri will miss Saturday's clash with D.C. United with the thigh injury that he picked up during a Nations League clash with Portugal. The attacking midfielder currently has three goals and two assists during 12 appearances, all starts, for Chicago in 2022. Brian Gutierrez is a likely replacement in attacking midfield. Shaqiri's next attempt to return will be the following Saturday, against Houston.

Wyatt Omsberg - Out with illness Omsberg missed Chicago's defeat against Toronto FC just before the international break while in the health and safety protocols, the Fire announced before the game.
Impact Omsberg was replaced in central defense by Carlos Teran for the game in late May, but he will hope to return fit enough to start in next weekend's clash against D.C. United.
