RDS' Patrick Friolet has reported that Ignacio Piatti is out with a hip/groin injury for Saturday's game vs the Chicago Fire.
Nacho Piatti pas disponible pour le match de samedi à Chicago. Blessure entre la hanche et l'aine. Ballou pourrait le remplacer#IMFC

Piatti is another huge loss with Laurent Ciman and midfielder Patrice Bernier questionable for Saturday's game. Ciman hurt himself in a World Cup qualifier with Belguim and his loss in the back could be deadly for the Impact.
Patrick Friolet added that maybe Ballou can replace Piatti in his position.
