Questionable with lower body injury
Zinckernagel is questionable for Wednesday's match against Orlando City due to a lower body injury, according to the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Zinckernagel has been a key contributor for Chicago this season, contributing five goals and seven assists across 18 MLS appearances, so his potential absence would represent a real blow to the team's attack. His status will likely become clearer closer to kickoff as the club assesses the extent of the issue. Zinckernagel is expected to be given every opportunity to prove his fitness before a final call is made. Puso Dithejane is the favorite to step into the starting lineup in his place if Zinckernagel is unable to go.
Assists winner Saturday
Zinckernagel assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Toronto FC.
Analysis: Zinckernagel assisted the match-winning goal Saturday as his cross set up Andrew Gutman's header in the 65th minute. It was one of four chances he created in the match and he also recorded a season-high four accurate crosses. He now has five goals and six assists this season, all of which have come in his last nine matches. He'll hope to keep the momentum going despite heading into the two-month break for the World Cup.
