Philip Zinckernagel - Questionable with lower body injury Zinckernagel is questionable for Wednesday's match against Orlando City due to a lower body injury, according to the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Zinckernagel has been a key contributor for Chicago this season, contributing five goals and seven assists across 18 MLS appearances, so his potential absence would represent a real blow to the team's attack. His status will likely become clearer closer to kickoff as the club assesses the extent of the issue. Zinckernagel is expected to be given every opportunity to prove his fitness before a final call is made. Puso Dithejane is the favorite to step into the starting lineup in his place if Zinckernagel is unable to go.

Christopher Cupps - Back available for club play Cupps is back available for Chicago Fire as he was included on the bench for Thursday's 2-0 Leagues Cup win over Necaxa, according to the club.

Impact Cupps had been away with the USMNT U19 side for the CONCACAF U20 Championship, an absence that was not expected to have much fantasy impact given his limited role for the first team. His return now puts him back in contention for minutes, though his path back into regular playing time will depend on how the club chooses to use him over the coming weeks.

Chris Brady - Easy win Brady recorded no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Charlotte FC.

Impact Brady faced a single shot on goal, failed to stop it, and still came away with the win. The defense in front of him did brilliantly throughout the match and a brace by Robert Lewandowski provided the goals meaning Brady got a straightforward win. Brady is a top goalkeeper and should be a strong option moving forward even if this win wasn't due to him.

Jack Elliott - Seven clearances Saturday Elliott registered one tackle (one won) and seven clearances in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Charlotte FC.

Impact Elliott made a single tackle during Saturday's win, but the more impressive note was his seven clearances. The defender was excellent in the backline throughout the match and snuffed out some dangerous chances. He should remain a key part of the defense for the foreseeable future as a major contributor in keeping the defense ordered.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Lod - Assists Saturday Lod assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Charlotte FC.

Impact Lod provided an assist for Robert Lewandowski on his only chance created during Saturday's win. The forward didn't offer much volume throughout the match but the volume he did produce was enough to be a serious difference-maker. He will hope to continue pairing well with Lewandowski, who should completely change the attack.
