Nick Hagglund - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

On bench against Chicago Hagglund (leg) is on the bench to face Chicago Fire on Saturday.

Impact Hagglund was sidelined for a couple of matches while he recovered from a minor injury. While he's now available, he may have to wait at least another week to return to the initial lineup, with Kyle Smith and Andrei Chirila starting in the meantime. Hagglund is leading the team with an average of 5.8 clearances per contest, so he could be a solid defensive option whenever he's back on the field.

Trains with group Hagglund (leg) trained with the group Wednesday, according to Laurel Pfahler of the Queen City Press.

Impact Hagglund is nearing a return to play in the next week or two, as the defender was able to train with the group midweek. This is good news after two games out, as it appears he and Matt Miazga (leg) are on a similar path, potentially gaining back both starting center-backs in the same week. He has started in seven of his eight appearances this season, so this is something to watch as the weekend approaches.

Impact Hagglund suffered an injury during warmups before the match against NYCFC earlier this week, so unsurprisingly, he won't be available here on a quick turnaround. Gilberto Flores should see more playing time as long as Hagglund remains out.
