Even though the Chicago Fire were off last weekend, fans could not escape bad news about the club. Matt Polster, who had missed the game against Minnesota, suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in training, ruling him out of action for 5-6 weeks. As if head coach Veljko Paunovic didn’t have enough to worry about as is, he will now have to figure out who will have to come in at right back.
His options are limited, but there is some depth at the position.
Many expect Ramos to start at right back against Portland, and with good reason, as he started the Minnesota game that Polster was out for.
