It seems like the Fire might have to hold off on the “We-Bolstered-The-Squad” party. Thursday Jairo Torres, who was officially announced on Tuesday, was revealed to have some sort of muscle injury, and Chris Mueller won’t be available until the next home game against FC Cincinnati. That leaves Saturday’s match in a little bit of purgatory. The attack isn’t going to look like anything that will come after, and the red card suspension for Rafael Czichos means that the defense won’t be in its complete form either.
What we have then is an interesting opportunity fo the old Fire to convince us that the foundation that was built for the reinforcements to enter to was a good one.
