Anton Salétros

Analysis: Saletros was a regular starter and set-piece taker before his injury, so he should return to a major role if he's available for upcoming matches. His inclusion would be a defensive midfield boost for the team, and he could produce though crosses and tackles as he did in his most recent performances. He would be expected to replace the suspended Dje D'Avilla in the starting lineup for the next game, after which Mauricio Pineda may be the one to lose his spot.

Doubt due to head issue

Saletros' status is uncertain ahead of Wednesday's match against D.C. United as he deals with a head injury, the MLS reported Tuesday.

Analysis: Saletros is a major presence in Chicago's lineup, as he has been one of their more dependable options in the center of the park, contributing in both possession and pressing, so his head concern alongside Sergio Oregel (head) gives the Fire two uncertain players in the same match day. If Saletros can play, Chicago's midfield retains a composed and experienced option it genuinely needs. Otherwise, Mauricio Pineda might get a rare opportunity.
