Two of the Chicago Fire’s youngest members will have their eyes on taking the next step in their fledgling careers when the 2020 MLS regular season resumes this Thursday, Aug. 20, in Columbus.
Homegrown midfielders Javier Casas and Brian Gutiérrez were with the team in Orlando for the recently-completed MLS is Back Tournament, and both featured for the first time in head coach Raphael Wicky’s matchday roster during the group stage.
Now with that unique experience under their belt, the pair is eager for their first MLS minutes.
“That’s my goal right now -- my pro debut,” Gutiérrez said.
