Chicago Fire: 5 key players to watch for in 2020

After one of the most hectic offseasons in club history, the Chicago Fire are finally set to kick off the 2020 regular season this weekend. They will go on the road to take on reigning MLS Cup Champions, the Seattle Sounders.

One of the reasons why the winter was so frantic was the roster turnover. German icon Bastian Schweinsteiger retired soon after the end of last season, while Aleksandar Katai and Nicolas Gaitan eventually left as well. That meant the Fire suddenly had to fill three Designated Player spots while also worrying about adding depth pieces to the team.
