This week, the Chicago Fire will wrap up what’s essentially the club’s third preseason of 2020. The team will travel to Ohio on Thursday to take on the Columbus Crew (6:30 p.m. CT, WGN & ESPN+) in what’s sure to be a difficult restart to the MLS regular season.
Midfielder Micheal Azira has rejoined the team after missing out on the MLS is Back Tournament with an injury. He said the constant starting and stopping of the season because of the COVID-19 pandemic has definitely been unusual.
“It’s been tough, but at the end of the day, this is what we signed up for,” Azira said in a video provided by the Fire.
