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 in win
Zinckernagel assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Zinckernagel set up Robert Lewandowski for one goal during Saturday's win, as well as sending in 10 crosses and shooting three times himself. Zinckernagel made the absolute most of his chances and was excellent at using the space Lewandowski created for him, if he can thrive in this pairing it would be a major boost to his upside.
