Kendall Burks - Stars in loss to NashvilleBurks made two blocks, three clearances and an interception in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Nashville SC.
Brian Gutierrez - Takes two shots off benchGutierrez subbed into Saturday's match against Nashville SC at halftime, taking two shots (one on target) and creating a chance in the 3-0 defeat.
ImpactGutierrez was given a rest Saturday as the Fire rolled out a heavily-rotated squad to face Nashville before the midweek U.S. Open Cup fixture, but he came on for the second half and injected some urgency to Chicago's attack.

Wyatt Omsberg - Struggles in first start of seasonOmsberg made four clearances, four interceptions and a block in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Nashville SC.
ImpactOmsberg made his first MLS start since last June on Saturday, but the center-back struggled to keep Nashville out of the net in what was admittedly a heavily-rotated Fire lineup. He should return to the bench once Rafael Czichos (undisclosed) and Carlos Teran (upper leg) regain fitness.

Daniel Aceves - Busy defensively in first MLS startAceves made three blocks, three interceptions and four clearances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Nashville SC. He also won one of two tackles in the match.
ImpactAceves lined up at left wing-back Saturday in what was a heavily-rotated Fire side that took on Nashville, but the Pachuca loanee was one of Chicago's more impressive players in the comfortable defeat and could continue to get opportunities on the pitch.

Xherdan Shaqiri - Takes shot in lossShaqiri took a shot on target and created a chance in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Nashville SC. He also made a block and an interception in the match.
ImpactShaqiri started in attacking midfield among a heavily rotated cast to face Nashville Saturday in what turned out to be Ezra Hendrickson's final game as the Fire's manager. He could have a chance to earn his way back into the preferred XI under new manager Frank Klopas, and he was named a starter in the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday ahead of Chris Mueller, who wasn't fully fit.

Georgios Koutsias - Makes first MLS startKoutsias made a clearance and completed nine passes before being hooked at halftime of Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Nashville SC.
ImpactKoutsias has made four MLS appearances since joining Chicago from Greek side PAOK in the offseason, but he wasn't very impressive in his first start in what was a heavily-rotated lineup on Saturday.
MAY 10, 2023•ROTOWIRE
Kacper Przybylko - Has quiet game against NashvillePrzybylko made two clearances and completed 11 passes in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Nashville SC.
ImpactPrzybylko made his first MLS start in more than a month on Saturday as Chicago rolled out a heavily-rotated lineup ahead of the midweek U.S. Open Cup match. He is likely to return to the bench in favor of Kei Kamara up front.
