Chicago Fire’s Bobby Shuttleworth: “I’m looking forward to helping the team”

On the day where Chicago Fire goalkeeper Kenneth Kronholm underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ACL, new starter Bobby Shuttleworth talked about the opportunity he’s getting in goal.

That’s the life of a backup goalkeeper. You don’t wish injury upon the starter, but you have to be ready if something bad happens.

“When I came here, I tried to prepare myself as if I’m playing every game,” Shuttleworth said in a video released by the Fire. “I obviously feel very bad for Kenny, but I’m looking forward to playing, and looking forward to helping the team.
