Chicago Fire FC confirmed Thursday that midfielder André Franco will miss the rest of the 2025 MLS season with a torn ACL.
The 25-year-old was injured during Chicago’s 5-3 win at Inter Miami CF midweek — a result that clinched the Fire’s first playoff berth since 2017.
Franco, on loan from FC Porto, made an immediate impact with four assists in six games since joining in the summer window.
With two regular-season matches left, Chicago sit eighth in the East with 51 points (15W-11L-6D) in their first season under head coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter.
