Fit for friendly Mueller (chest) started and played 45 minutes in a preseason friendly.

Impact Mueller has returned to play after he ended last season injured, with the midfielder an option for a friendly to start the preseason.

Signs extension Mueller (chest) signed an extension with Chicago for 2026, the club announced.

Impact Mueller officially went down for the season in July due to a chest injury, but was brought back for 2026. The midfielder has been productive in Chicago, though he hasn't reached the same heights he did with Orlando. He will be back in 2026 after a full year on the sideline, but a new contract at this point in his recovery clearly means the club thinks he can get back to his best.

Won't return in 2025 Mueller has announced that he's going on the season-ending injured list after he was diagnosed with pericarditis at the beginning of the season, the club posted.

Impact Mueller was diagnosed with pericarditis at the beginning of the season, an inflammation around the lining of the heart which has kept him sidelined since the start of the 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, the midfielder won't be able to feature in 2025 as he announced that he's been added to the season-ending injury list. Mueller will hope to come back fit and recovered for the 2026 season since he will still be under contract for one more year with Chicago.
