Starting against Nashville Zinckernagel (head) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Nashville.

Impact Zinckernagel won't miss any game with the problem that forced him to leave the pitch early during the previous clash with Philadelphia.

Additionally, he could assume an even bigger offensive responsibility in the absence of striker Hugo Cuypers (head).

Impact Zinckernagel made it just 30 minutes before being forced off in favor of Maren Haile-Selassie.

He will hope this isn't a big injury concern ahead of an Apr. 4 clash with Nashville.

Impact Zinckernagel missed the playoff opener for Chicago but is now back in the fold after only one game missed, as he was back training with the group.
