CHICAGO NEWS

Brian Gutierrez - Snipes post in loss Gutierrez took two shots (one on target) and sent one cross (none accurate) in the 1-0 loss to D.C. United on Thursday.

Impact Gutierrez did very little in the close loss Thursday. The midfielder had just two shots to his name and he barely produced outside of them. However, he did come close to saving his bare minimum performance if not for an unlucky post hit. He has only made two appearances (one start) in the five matches for Chicago thus far and he has not shown much promise. Until he can gain form, there are better plays at the club.

Robert Beric - Gun-shy in loss Beric took one shot (none on target) and created three chances in the 1-0 loss to D.C. United on Thursday.

Impact Beric had every chance possible to not only attempt at leveling the game, but to also put Chicago in the lead. However, he only took a single chance out of the plethora of opportunities he had. Granted, he did at least create chances out of them by setting up teammates. The issue is that Beric generates his floor and ceiling from his shot and his shot only. It is a little worrisome too that his shot volume has taken a massive dip from his first two appearances where he totaled 10 shots, compared to his most recent three appearances where he has totaled five shots. It is better to take a concerning approach to playing him for the time being.

Fabian Herbers - Plays off bench Thursday Herbers (knee) played 30 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 1-0 loss against D.C. United.

Impact Herbers was back in the squad Thursday, making his first appearance of the season because of a knee injury. With a full week before the team's next match, there's a chance he returns to the starting XI after being a regular last season. He came on for 17-year-old Brian Gutierrez, who was getting his first career start, in Thursday's match.

Fabian Herbers - Listed as questionable Herbers (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's trip to D.C. United, according to Patrick McCraney of Hot Time in Old Town.

Impact Herbers has yet to play this season but began working his way back into training at the beginning of May. While his chances of playing won't be assured until the lineup is released, Herbers shouldn't be far off from his return even if he doesn't play Thursday. Last season, he scored four times in 21 appearances (18 starts).

Carlos Teran - Remains unavailable Teran (thigh) will miss Thursday's match against D.C. United, according to Patrick McCraney of Hot Time in Old Town.

Impact Teran has yet to play this season and it's still not clear when he could return from an injury that has hampered him without much sign of improvement. He only played twice in 2020.

Ignacio Aliseda - Out Thursday Aliseda (left thigh) will miss Thursday's trip to D.C. United, according to Patrick McCraney of Hot Time in Old Town.

Impact Aliseda has been out for the past three matches after only appearing in the season opening draw with New England. When healthy, Aliseda should be capable of playing an active role on the left side of the attack as a starter.
