Gaston Gimenez - Out on international duty Gimenez is away on international duty playing for Paraguay in Copa America.
Impact Gimenez will be out at least the next two weeks while playing for Paraguay and possibly more, depending if they advance or not. It's an unfortunate absence that will likely push Mauricio Pineda back into the starting XI for Chicago as a defensive midfielder.

Bobby Shuttleworth - Expresses frustration in loss Shuttleworth made two saves and conceded once during the 1-0 loss to Montreal on Saturday.
Impact Shuttleworth was beyond upset in the tough loss Saturday. The keeper was rather vocal to his backline more than once, after they left him stranded on his own. Shuttleworth made a few very important saves and his track record could be much better than what it is, if not for a poor backline in front of him. He will continue to make saves, but will it be enough to offset the goals against is the question.

Wyatt Omsberg - Gets tying goal taken away in loss Omsberg created one chance and made two tackles (one won) in the 1-0 loss to Montreal on Saturday.
Impact Omsberg was cheated a goal thanks to his teammates in the loss Saturday. The defender joined the final play of the game and he managed to score with a handful of seconds left. However, the goal went to VAR and it was eventually pulled back for offsides from one of his teammates. Omsberg has not produced much so far this season, but he is at least consistent.

Alvaro Medran - Does it all in tough loss Medran produced two shots (one on target), created five chances, sent 10 crosses (five accurate), took five corners and made three tackles (two won) in the 1-0 loss to Montreal on...
Impact Medran was everywhere he possibly could be in the close loss. The midfielder tied his season high in crosses (10) and he also chipped in a few tackles. This was also his best game in terms of accuracy with his crossing. Although, his highlight was his effectiveness with creative chances. Medran set up teammates five times and each time was a quality look on net, but nobody could finish. Even though he plays for a club that is closer to the bottom of the league in terms of offense, he is the major bright spot that will produce no matter what.

Gaston Gimenez - Makes six tackles in 1-0 loss Gimenez produced one shot (one on target), created one chance, sent two crosses (one accurate), took two corners and made six tackles (four won) during the 1-0 loss to Montreal on...
Impact Gimenez was more efficient off the ball, than on in the loss. The midfielder had less of a role on offense in his return. However, he still managed to produce tackles with ease and his success rate was over 50 percent. He also continued to have a role on set-pieces, but it is not enough to alter his value one way or the other. If fantasy owners need a defensive midfielder with a spark of offense, Gimenez is a fantastic option.

Brian Gutierrez - Misses quality chances in loss Gutierrez took two shots (two on target), created one chance, sent one cross (none accurate) and made one tackle (one won) in the 1-0 loss to Montreal on Saturday.
Impact Gutierrez took too much time in his set ups during the loss Saturday. The midfielder had a handful of chances and some with wide-open nets, but he got too cute setting up the shot giving time for defenders and the opposing keeper to make adjustments. However, he was at least consistent for his third start in as many games and he showed that he can find the weak spots in the opposing defense. Time will tell if he will become quicker when the chances come though.

Ignacio Aliseda - Could return Saturday Aliseda (thigh) has been training and could be an option for Saturday's match against Montreal, according to head coach Raphael Wicky. "He's back in full team training. So yeah, we...
Impact Aliseda hasn't played since the opener when he came off the bench, so there's no reason to expect him to start Saturday. Once healthy and fit, he should again fight for starts after making 16 last season, but that will likely have to wait until after the international break.
