Rejoins defensive rotation
Chirila is back from international duty and available for FC Cincinnati's MLS clash against Atlanta United on Saturday after being left off the latest injury report.
Analysis: Chirila missed the trip to Montreal while away with his national team but is now back in contention for defensive minutes. The center-back had started three of Cincinnati's previous five MLS matches before the international break, although Nick Hagglund and Teenage Hadebe remain ahead of him in the pecking order. Chirila should provide additional depth in central defense against Atlanta, with a reserve role more likely unless the coaching staff opts to rotate its back line.
Away on international duty
Chirila is unavailable for the upcoming visit to Montreal due to international duty, according to the league.
Analysis: Chirila had started three of Cincinnati's last five MLS matches but remains behind Nick Hagglund and Teenage Hadebe in the center-back pecking order, so his absence doesn't greatly disrupt the defensive scheme. Chirilia should return to the squad after the international window closes, looking to be an option for the Oct. 10 trip to Atlanta.
