On bench to face Orlando
Chirila (concussion) is among the substitutes for Saturday's clash with Orlando City.
Analysis: Chirila has cleared the concussion protocol but may see few minutes in his return while all of Samuel Gidi, Kyle Smith and Matt Miazga start in the back line. The youngster's return gives Cincinnati some depth at center-back, adding an option that generated more than three clearances each of the last four times he logged at least 45 minutes on the pitch.
Won't play Saturday
Chirila (concussion) won't be an option for Saturday's game against San Diego FC, according to Laurel Pfahler of The Queen City Press.
Analysis: Chirila exited Wednesday's loss to Inter Miami with a concussion, and that's why he won't travel to face San Diego on Saturday. The defender has started in four of his six appearances this season, but Matt Miazga and Gilberto Flores should be capable replacements for him.
