Out due to birth of child Mueller has missed the last two MLS matches following the birth of his second child.

Impact Mueller has been excused from all team trainings and matches following the birth of his second child. Because the midfielder has missed some time, he will be a game time decision for Saturday's trip to Dallas, depending on his fitness level.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Mueller (Not Injury-Related) is out for Saturday's season opener against Columbus, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Mueller will miss the MLS season opener for reasons unrelated to injury. There is no clear timeline for his return. His absence is not expected to affect the starting XI, as he was projected to be a bench option behind newcomer Jonathan Bamba this season.

Gets two assists in 2024 Mueller finishes the season making 15 starts in 27 appearances during the 2024 year.

Impact Mueller completes his third full season with Chicago, making up from his injured 2023 season. He managed to starte 15 times in 27 appearances, logging in 56 crosses (10 accurate), 18 tackles and 19 chances created. The midfielder will return for the 2025 season, as he also has a club option for 2026.

Assists final goal off the bench Mueller assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat against Charlotte FC.

Impact Mueller assisted the game's final goal in the 93rd minute as he came off the bench for a 31-minute appearance. This was the first time in eight games that he created two or more chances and his first goal involvement in 11 matches.

Records three shots Mueller registered three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Toronto FC.

Impact Mueller only appeared for 31 minutes off the bench Saturday but still fired in three shots in the draw. He still only has one goal contribution on the season despite appearing 25 times this season, although only 14 appearnces have been starts. The midfielder hasn't had much fantasy value at all this campaign, struggling to see more than a few crosses a match and some defensive stats when on the field.

Starts, attempts five crosses Mueller attempted five crosses (zero accurate) across 63 minutes during the Fire's 1-0 loss Sunday at San Jose.

Impact After logging an assist during the Fire's previous game, Mueller was added to their starting XI on Sunday. While unable to record another assist, it was something he tried to get with a relatively noticeable effort. Mueller's five crosses marked his best since April 21. But since May, he has failed to get any of his crosses accurate on eight attempts.

Credited with assist Wednesday Mueller assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia Union.

Impact Mueller assisted one of Hugo Cuypers' goals, but he did it with an aerial set-up following a cross into the far post. Mueller has recorded 15 appearances (eight starts) this season and this was his first assist, so his fantasy upside remains fairly low.

Impact Mueller's season was cut short last campaign, having gone down in May with a hip injury that resulted in him missing the rest of the year. However, he appears to be ready for the start of the new season already, having reported to preseason training, with manager Frank Klopas claiming, "[He] is almost like a new signing and has so much energy." He was a regular starter before the injury and will hope to have no problems reclaiming that role after healing up from his hip issues.

MAY 26, 2023 • SACBEE.COM

Likely out for season after surgery Mueller underwent a successful operation on his hip but is expected to miss the rest of the campaign while recovering, the Fire announced Friday.

Impact There's a small possibility Mueller is able to return at some point in 2023, but the likelihood is that his season is over after two goals in 10 MLS appearances (eight starts) on the left wing. Brian Gutierrez should mainly take over the position in the XI, allowing Xherdan Shaqiri to remain in attacking midfield.

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Features off bench in draw Mueller (hip) subbed into Saturday's match against Atlanta United in the 73rd minute, winning one of one tackles and recording a secondary assist in the 3-3 draw.

Impact Mueller returned from a hip injury Saturday that had sidelined him for each of Chicago's last three league games. Brian Gutierrez has been replacing him on the left wing in the meantime with Xherdan Shaqiri performing well in the hole, so Mueller may have to win back his spot in the XI once he is fully fit again.
