Xherdan Shaqiri - Returns to training Shaqiri was back to training with Chicago, but is not expected to play Thursday against Toluca, reports Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports Net.
Impact Shaqiri has been with the Swiss national team since the end of May, with his last appearances with Chicago on May 19. If team advances in the Leagues Cup, then the midfielder could see a return for the knockout round. He started nine times in 12 appearances this season, scoring twice with an assist.

Impact Navarro returned to the bench for Sunday's match against Kansas City. The midfielder was training earlier in the week and was now deemed fit enough for a return to the first team. Navarro started four matches in a row before his injury and could play a significant role now that he's fit once more.

Andrew Gutman - Active Sunday Gutman (hamstring) was active for Sunday's clash with Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Gutman was back on the pitch and fit for Sunday's clash after overcoming a hamstring injury. The defender has missed a large portion of the season due to a variety of injuries, but the hope will be that he's fit enough to carry on with a large role in Leagues Cup and beyond.

Xherdan Shaqiri - Not training Friday Shaqiri (not injury related) was not spotted in training Friday and might not be an option for Chicago's Leagues Cup opener against Sporting KC on Sunday, Joe Chatz of On Tap Sport...
Impact Shaqiri hasn't returned to Chicago following his participation with Switzerland in the 2024 Euros, and the talented playmaker seems to be trying to force a move back to Europe. At this point, he seems highly unlikely to play for the Fire in the Leagues Cup, or even at all in the rest of the season.

Andrew Gutman - Participates in group training Gutman (hamstring) was spotted in training Friday and might be an option for Chicago's Leagues Cup opener against Sporting KC on Sunday, Joe Chatz of On Tap SportsNet reports.
Impact While it wasn't revealed just how involved Gutman was during the training session, the fact that he trained with the group suggests he might be inching closer toward a potential return. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to be an option off the bench Sunday, and a return during the current Leagues Cup campaign looks possible.

Impact Navarro hasn't played since May 30 and has been limited to just five starts during the 2024 MLS campaign. His return will add depth to the team's midfield, but he's not expected to play a prominent role for the Fire.

Impact Gimenez earned his assist in the 73rd minute, finding Rafael Czichos for the club's lone goal of the contest. This marked his third goal contribution of the season, notching one goal and two assists.

This ends his clean sheet tally, having bagged two in their previous two games. He will now hope for his fifth of the season when facing NYCFC following the Olympic break on Aug. 24.
