Shaqiri, Herbers statuses uncertain as the Fire eye marquee clash with the Galaxy

The Chicago Fire will face their toughest test of the season thus far as they take on the high-flying LA Galaxy at Soldier Field on Saturday night. The Galaxy, who boast such global stars as Javier “Chicharito” Hernández and Douglas Costa, sit second place in the Western Conference and are coming off a dramatic 2-1 win over city rivals LAFC in “El Tráfico.” The Fire held their final practice at Soldier Field ahead of the game.
