Back in squad Sunday Kitchen (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Austin.

Questionable for Fire match Kitchen (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's match against Columbus, according to Jacob Myers of the Columbus Dispatch.
Impact There was some hope that Kitchen would return against Toronto before the international break, but he was ultimately held out. His return would be a huge boost for the Crew, as Artur has already been ruled out because of his nagging hip injury. If Kitchen cannot play this weekend, his next opportunity will come Wednesday against Philadelphia.

May return against TFC Kitchen (thigh) could return as soon as Saturday's match against Toronto FC, manager Caleb Porter told reporters.
Impact Kitchen has only played in one game so far this season and should be back by the June 19 match against Chicago at the latest. With Artur not the most fit, Kitchen should have a few chances to serve as a starter even if he's not key to his club's best lineup.
