Chicago Fire midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri is “day-to-day” with a calf injury ahead of this weekend’s matchup with Orlando City at Exploria Stadium. Shaqiri came out of last weekend’s match against FC Dallas in the 19th minute after feeling tightness in his calf.
The Fire had the last couple days off, and Wednesday was their first day back with the full team at training. Shaqiri did not take part, Fire head coach Ezra Hendrickson said.
“We want to be careful, because he’s a very important player for us,” Hendrickson said. “So, we don’t want to rush that back too soon.
