Anton Saletros - Starts Saturday Saletros (head) is in the initial lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Toronto.

Impact Saletros has left his injury behind and claimed his holding midfield spot back from Dje D'Avilla. The Swede will also look to take some set pieces as he did before getting hurt, but he could share those duties with Philip Zinckernagel. While he has yet to achieve a direct contribution in league play this year, Saletros scored once during a US Open Cup game in April, and he holds decent all-around upside in his current role.

Jonathan Bamba - Questionable again Bamba was listed as questionable for Saturday's visit to Montreal for reasons not related to injury.

Impact Bamba is one of Chicago's more dynamic wide attackers, capable of creating danger and contributing directly in the final third, and a potential new absence is a big worry for the club, with the attacker already missing a few games this year due to personal reasons. Without further detail from the team, it's difficult to tell if Bamba will play in upcoming contests. Maren Haile-Selassie and Robin Lod could see increased time in his place if required.

Anton Saletros - Resumes training Saletros (head) took part in Thursday's training session after missing the previous game due to injury, Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports reports.

Impact 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.
