Suspended again
D'Avilla generated one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Atlanta United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 38th minute and except for a one match suspension.
Analysis: D'Avilla will serve his second suspension in two matches after picking up his eighth yellow card of the season. He has been in steady form, recording 11 tackles, seven clearances, five interceptions, three shots on target and three chances created across his last 10 appearances. Anzor Mekvabishvili is expected to be the leading candidate to replace him in the starting XI for Wednesday's clash with Orlando.
Back from suspension
D'Avilla has served his one-match suspension following his dismissal against New York City FC and is eligible to return for Saturday's MLS clash against New England Revolution.
Analysis: D'Avilla was sent off after receiving two yellow cards during the first half against New York City FC, forcing him to miss Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia Union. The defensive midfielder has been a regular starter for Chicago Fire this season, making 23 starts across 27 league appearances. His return provides Chicago with an important option in the middle of the park, and he should be in contention to reclaim his starting role Saturday.
Sent off Saturday
D'Avilla was sent off in the final minutes of the first half during Saturday's contest against New York City FC.
Analysis: D'Avilla was issued a yellow card midway through the first half and later received his second yellow just before the break. The midfielder has been a regular for the Fire this season, starting in 23 of his 27 appearances, though he doesn't have a lot of attacking upside due to his holding role. D'Avilla will miss the matchup against Philadelphia on Oct. 14, but he should be eligible to return against New England next Saturday, Oct. 17.
Finds back of net
D'Avilla scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Portland Timbers.
Analysis: D'Avilla would find the back of the net for Chicago's second goal Sunday, scoring in the 14th minute. This is a rare goal for the midfielder, as it is his first of the season. That said, it also marks his first goal contribution of the season in 17 appearances.
Back from ban
D'Avilla has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the match vs Toronto on Saturday.
Analysis: D'Avilla is back and set to start Saturday after serving a suspension vs Montreal. He"s started 10 of the 12 games played, making 16 tackles with 15 interceptions with 11 clearances.
Suspended one game
D'Avilla will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the MLS.
Analysis: D'Avilla picked up his fifth yellow card in the MLS and will serve a one-match suspension for Saturday's clash against Montreal. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the engine room for Chicago this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Mauricio Pineda expected to start in his place for that game.
