Features 15 minutes Wednesday Omsberg (hamstring) featured for 15 minutes in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rhode Island in the US Open Cup, confirming he has recovered from his injury.
Impact Omsberg picked up a hamstring injury in his first start of the season against the Bulls in late March while he was having a strong outing and has missed the last five games while recovering. He played 15 minutes in Wednesday's cup game which confirms he is available again moving forward. He should return to a bench role like he has held for most of the season.

Officially questionable Omsberg (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Toronto, per the MLS injury report.
Impact Omsberg reportedly had no timetable for his return a week ago, but is now questionable. The defender would be a nice depth option if deemed fit, though even if he's deemed if it would likely only be for a bench role Saturday.

Impact Omsberg will miss some time with an injury he picked up against the Bulls. It's unfortunate as he was performing well and could have provided quality depth in the backline for upcoming fixtures, bringing motivation and leadership according to his coach.

Signs with New England Omsberg has signed with New England out of free agency, according to his new club.
Impact Omsberg is set for a new journey in his career, as Chicago has announced the end of his time with the club. However, it did not take long to find a new club, joining New England and remaining in the MLS. He has held a rotational role throughout much of his five seasons with Chicago, starting in 11 of his 12 appearances last season, although he will look to expand upon that role with his new club.
JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Still negotiating Omsberg is negotiating a new contract with Chicago, the club announced.
Impact Omsberg is eligible for free agency following the conclusion of his contract. He's now negotiating a new contract with Chicago as the club evidently hopes to bring him back.

Leaves injured Omsberg was subbed off due to injury in the 34th minute of Wednesday's 4-3 loss against Charlotte FC, per Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports Net.
Impact Omsberg picked up an injury during the scoring sequence Wednesday and was forced to come off during the first half. With Chicago's next and final game of the season not until after the international break, the defender will have an extra week to recover as he aims to be ready for the match with Nashville. He's started the last six games at center back, recording 25 clearances with 10 interceptions in that span.

Gets time with secondary team Omsberg (leg) made his return to play Saturday after getting 45 minutes of playtime with Chicago Fire FC ll in their 6-0 win against Chicago City.
Impact Omsberg has finally gotten minutes on the field after overcoming his leg issues, having made his return in the MLS Next Pro league after going unused on the bench in the Fire's first two contests of the season. He will most now most likely return to a reserve or rotational role with the first team, mainly serving on the bench after only seeing 11 appearances in the last campaign.
MARCH 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Returning for fifth season Omsberg had his contract exercised for the 2024 season with Chicago.
Impact Omsberg was used as a backup for the center back position for a fourth season in a row. He made just seven starts in 11 appearances, recording 33 clearances and 13 blocks in that span. The defender is set to keep a similar role for the 2024 campaign.
NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Available to play Saturday Omsberg (lower leg) is not on the injury report and will be available for Saturday's match against the Galaxy.
Impact Omsberg was an unused substitute the last time out for the Fire, and the fact that he's not in this week's injury report either suggests he should be available to see minutes. That said, he's likely to come off the bench in case he's needed, as he's made just three starts all season long.
AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sidelined Saturday Omsberg (lower leg) is out for Saturday's clash with Toronto, according to the Chicago injury report.
Impact Omsberg remains on the sideline with a lower leg injury. The defender has missed two matches in a row and has been a largely rotational option even when fully fit and available. Omsberg will hope to fully recover during the month-long Summer break.

Out for weekend Omsberg will not be available for selection in Saturday's clash against Nashville SC due to a lower leg injury, according to the Fire's injury report.
Impact Omsberg has featured six times in MLS this season with three starts in central defense, but he'll be sidelined for the Nashville match this weekend as Rafael Czichos and Carlos Teran should continue as the center-back pairing.
JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles in first start of season Omsberg made four clearances, four interceptions and a block in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Nashville SC.
Impact Omsberg made his first MLS start since last June on Saturday, but the center-back struggled to keep Nashville out of the net in what was admittedly a heavily-rotated Fire lineup. He should return to the bench once Rafael Czichos (undisclosed) and Carlos Teran (upper leg) regain fitness.

Left on bench in season opener Omsberg was an unused substitute in Saturday's draw against NYCFC.

Impact Omsberg was having a breakout season for the Fire with five clean sheets and a goal in 14 MLS appearances (all starts) before suffering a campaign-ending foot injury in June that required surgery. The 26-year-old will hope to enter 2023 fully fit and ready to regain his spot in the XI in central defense.

To undergo foot surgery Omsberg is set to miss at least three months while he recovers from a foot surgery he will undergo this week, Chicago manager Ezra Hendrickson said Thursday.
Impact This injury is a bad break for Omsberg as the 26-year-old had finally become a consistent starter in central defense this season until he injured his foot during stoppage time of last weekend's win over D.C. United. It's possible his campaign is over now as a result of this foot surgery, and Chicago's remaining center back options don't look especially promising as Rafael Czichos has already missed five league games due to various injuries, and backups Carlos Teran and Mauricio Pineda have both been spotty.
