Starts Saturday Zinckernagel (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup Saturday against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Zinckernagel has recovered the right-wing spot from Maren Haile-Selassie, giving his team a welcome boost for the second game of the series against the Union.

Trains with group Zinckernagel (undisclosed) is training with the group ahead of Saturday's match against Philadelphia, according to Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports.

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. This does clear him up for Saturday's match against Philadelphia, just needing to pass testing. He is a regular starter and should return to that role if deemed fit, bagging 15 goals and 13 assists in 33 appearances (32 starts) this season.

Last-minute absence Sunday Zinckernagel has been dropped out of the starting lineup to face Philadelphia Union on Sunday.

It's still unclear whether he's dealing with a serious issue that would sideline him in subsequent games.
