Ecuadorian defender Jhon Espinoza is the latest Chicago Fire player to receive a U.S. Green Card, meaning he’ll no longer occupy an international slot on the 2022 roster.
Plus, another player is close to receiving their Green Card status, a source tells Hot Time. Over the last two years, the Fire have made a major push to get Green Cards for as many foreign players as possible.
Right now, the club has six players holding down international slots: Gastón Giménez, Federico Navarro, Chinonso Offor, Boris Sekuliu0107, Carlos Terán, and newcomer Jhon Durán. That leaves two open slots to be used on future offseason signings.
