When I first started writing this article yesterday I had meant to discuss how Matt Polster’s return from injury would’ve been the spark that the Chicago Fire desperately needed. That was before the penny dropped.
As reported yesterday by Dan Santaromita for ProSoccerUSA.com, Polster suffered an injury setback in training this week that would extend his time on the DL. While the Fire haven’t made an official announcement yet, head coach Veljko Paunovic said that things definitely don’t look good, and that Polster will be unavailable for the foreseeable future.
