Sidelined after new injury Lod picked up an injury while on international duty with Finland and will be "out for some time," according to head coach Gregg Berhalter via Alex Calabrese of Men In Red 97.

Impact Based on Berhalter's words, it remains to be seen whether Lod will be able to return to action before the end of the regular season Nov. 7. Lod has been an important player and regular starter for the Fire this season, notching four goals and two assists in 24 appearances (17 starts). Maren Haire-Selassie should see more playing time with Lod sidelined, with Jonathan Bamba being another option to see more minutes.

Linking up with Finnish NT Lod has been called up by Finland for the upcoming international window between September and October.

Impact Lod is enjoying a solid season in Chicago, with four goals and two assists in 24 appearances (17 starts), but his numbers are down from the previous two campaigns. Lod should see steady playing time for Finland during the break, with the Suomi squad playing four matches -- they'll face San Marino, Albania and Belarus twice. As a result of the call-up, Lod will miss Saturday's game at Charlotte, and he's also expected to miss the Oct. 6 game against the Whitecaps. He should be available for the Oct. 10 game against New York City FC, though.

Assists on Sunday Lod assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against New England Revolution.

Impact Lod set up Maren Haile-Selassie in the 62nd minute. Lod recorded 15 passes and covered over four kilometres in the 35 minutes he played. This was his first goal contribution in six games and he is now up to six goal contributions for the campaign.

Impact Lod would open up the scoring for Chicago on Sunday, not wasting much time as he found the back of the net in the ninth minute. This is his second straight game with a goal contribution, as he earned an assist in his last outing. He now has four goals and one assist in 17 appearances (13 starts) this season.

Assists Saturday Lod assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Charlotte FC.

Impact Lod provided an assist for Robert Lewandowski on his only chance created during Saturday's win. The forward didn't offer much volume throughout the match but the volume he did produce was enough to be a serious difference-maker. He will hope to continue pairing well with Lewandowski, who should completely change the attack.

Scores opener Saturday Lod scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Toronto FC.

Impact Lod opened up the scoring Saturday, a strike in the 22nd minute assisted by Maren Haile-Selassie. It marked his third goal of the season, two of which have come in the last three matches. He also tied a season high with three chances created, a productive match for the attacker. He will now be away from MLS play for nearly two months due to the World Cup break.

Nets equalizer on Wednesday Lod scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against D.C. United.

Impact Lod headed in the equalizer, assisted by Philip Zinckernagel's brilliant cross in the 62nd minute. Lod recorded six passes and also made a tackle. This was his first goal since March, and he has only scored twice this campaign.

Cuypers scores MLS-leading 12th goal, Fire wins 3-1 to snap DC United's 5-game unbeaten streak

Hugo Cuypers scored his MLS-leading 12th goal this season, Robin Lod and Maren Haile-Selassie each added a goal, and the Chicago Fire beat D.C. United 3-1

MAY 14 • Associated Press

Back in starting XI midweek Lod (face) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's visit to D.C. United.

Impact Lod is ready to play following a one-game absence, and he'll replace Maren Haile-Selassie in an attacking midfield slot in the initial lineup. The 33-year-old is still looking to end an eight-game unproductive streak in terms of goals or assists in league play, but he could be a decent threat for a Chicago side that scored multiple goals in three of its last four MLS matches.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Training with mask Lod (face) is back in training, wearing a mask, according to Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports.

Impact Lod missed out last week after he suffered a facial fracture that required some stiches but is already in training again, as the attacker wore a mask to participate. This does put a return on the horizon for him, although he will have to get comfortable wearing the mask. He has started in seven of his 10 appearances this season while bagging a goal, but his play could be hindered due to the mask, something that has affected players in the past.

Set for absence Lod (face) won't play Saturday against New York Red Bulls, as coach Gregg Berhalter mentioned "Robin's out. He has a couple of facial fractures, a couple of stitches, some eye dama...

Impact Lod hasn't trained since leaving the May 3 matchup versus Cincinnati due to the issue, and it's unclear when he'll be available again. Chicago will be without him for the first time this year, and they could turn to an attacking midfield line made up of Maren Haile-Selassie, Jonathan Bamba and Philip Zinckernagel in upcoming contests. The Finland international, who has scored one goal over 10 MLS matches played in 2026, might have limited opportunities to produce before the World Cup break as he continues to deal with his face injuries.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Not in training Thursday Lod (face) wasn't spotted in training Thursday, according to Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports.

Impact Lod exited the previous match against Cincinnati in the second half after taking a foot to the face, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to play over the weekend. The fact that he wasn't training Thursday suggests his chances of playing are slim to none, and if that's the case, Maren Haile-Selassie could take his place in the lineup.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured Lod (face) was injured and subbed out in the 59th minute of Saturday's 3-2 loss to FC Cincinnati.

Impact Lod took a foot to the face and was forced off in the 59th minute with a bloody face. He's started six of the last seven games for Chicago, creating 10 chances with 14 tackles in that span. The midfielder will be day to day heading to the clash with RBNY on Saturday, pending on his facial injury.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Neutralized in Cincinnati match Lod had one tackle (one won), two clearances and one interception in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus FC Cincinnati.

Impact Lod featured as more of a distributor while the fit-again Hugo Cuypers was the focal point inside the box this time. The experienced midfielder has generated three scoring chances in each of his last two outings, but he remains without a goal or assist in six games played since March. Other than that, he's averaging 1.5 chances created and 1.3 tackles per match throughout the campaign.

APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first goal with Chicago Lod scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-0 win over Montreal.

Impact Lod was brought during second half's stoppage time as part of a substitution that was supposed to kill some seconds as his team already led by two but he still found time to make an impact as he appeared unmarked at the far post to slot into the empty net a rebound off the crossbar. This was the first goal for the attacker with his new club and he'll hope this helps him to get more playing time during upcoming matches.

Transfers to Chicago Lod completed a move to Chicago Fire after leaving Minnesota United ahead of the 2026 campaign, his new club announced Friday.

Impact Lod finished the previous season with six goals and four assists across 37 MLS matches. He'll now look to earn a starting spot in his new team's midfield, where he'll compete with Sergio Oregel and Dje D'Avilla. The Finland international could be reliable for offensive stats if he can improve on his 2025 season averages of 1.1 shots (0.5 on goal) and 1.0 chances created per game.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Option declined Lod didn't have his contract exercised by Minnesota ahead of the 2026 MLS season.

Impact Minnesota decided against exercising the option on Lod's contract, but there's still a door open for a potential return for the midfielder since both parties continue to negotiate a new contract. Lod started in 32 of his 37 appearances with Minnesota United in 2025, tallying six goals and four assists from his versatile midfield role.
