Chicago Fire defender Johan Kappelhof has already made one big move this year, tackling a new country and new league. What was one more?
With the Fire preparing for a Saturday contest at home with the Philadelphia Union (7:30 p.m. CT, CSN Chicago Plus), a period of rest was worked in coming off of last week’s stretch of three matches in eight days. While this weekend’s lineup choices remain to be seen, head coach Veljko Paunovic leaned on Kappelhof to man the right side of his defense during his team’s busy week.
“I’ve played there,” Kappelhof said.
