In media availability Fire head coach Gregg Berhalter says that André Franco could be available "within 10 days."
He then cautioned that he's "been wrong with this before" estimating player returns.

Since losing Hugo Cuypers, the Fire's DP production has dropped
How much? And how has Lewandowski's arrival changed production from the rest of #cf97?
I ran the numbers - check it out with our (free) subscriber exclusive story :

Former #cf97 in the XI for Montréal competing for a trophy.
That “subject to ticket availability” language may spare the Brew Crew from a “Pepsi points” lawsuit (IYKYK), but it’s still a PR mess regardless.

The Fire made it in the playoffs but not under their own power.
Here's what we learned in the team's 1-0 loss to the Revs yesterday

#cf97 #VamosFire
With Fire's 1-0 loss, that's 5 league starts for Robert Lewandowski with 0 goals
The last time that happened was 2010-2011, his first year at Borussia Dortmund

Andrew Gutman back in the XI for the Chicago Fire against the New England Revolution, and Andreas Hanche-Olsen gets his first MLS start.
Leo Barroso starts on the right with Dean on the bench. Lewy up top, with Maren and Zinck alongside Bamba behind him.

Know Thy Enemy: #NERevs vs #CF97 Old School Edition w/ @sing_electric of @meninred97 on the Fire's defensive absences amid their own quest for the top four in the East while I wonder if #NEvCHI tonight might invoke energies of decades past theblazingmusket.com/know-th…
And official from MLS ‒ but odds are you'd get something worthwhile if you read Alex's write up on it.
The Chicago Fire are so close to clinching a playoff berth they can almost touch it.
Here’s what has to happen tomorrow to put them over the line. 👇🏻

When you tell people you dont value them, sooner or later, they listen.
“There’s no one here again.”
Those were the first words out of Kily Gonzalez’s mouth as he sat down for his post-game press conference after #InterMiamiCF’s 2-0 win vs New York City FC.
A pretty damning remark about the media coverage of a team with Lionel Messi on it. #Messi
11 out of 10 analysts agree: Your chances of winning go up if you play have at least as many players as your opponent.
Also thoughts on why Gutman isn't playing and the Fire's center-back pool.

Fire captain Jack Elliott is due to miss the Fire's next to games after being sent off against the Union.
Here's the full story:

Tonight's Fire attendance is 21,265 - lowest since Lewandowski arrived and the Fire's lowest since May 2nd against FC Cincinnati (which, TBF, was a Saturday)
#cf97 #VamosFire
And the Union score again, making it 3-1 in the 67th minute as Damiani bags a brace
Does not look like the Fire will clinch tonight.
