Est. Return 7/22/2026
Returns to full training
Bamba (not injury related) has returned to full training and is expected to be available for the clash against Vancouver on July 16, according to Joe Chatz.
ANALYSIS
Bamba's return is a welcome development for Chicago Fire after the winger had been listed as questionable for non-injury related reasons in recent weeks. One of the more dynamic wide attackers in the squad, his availability gives the coaching staff a key creative option back in contention heading into the upcoming fixture. Maren Haile-Selassie and Robin Lod had been among the options to cover in his absence but are now likely to revert to depth roles with Bamba back in full training.
