Mbekezeli Mbokazi out for MLS season after surgery

Chicago Fire

Mbekezeli Mbokazi will miss the rest of the MLS season after suffering a more severe left thigh injury than initially anticipated. His agent, Basia Michaels, confirmed that he will undergo surgery in Finland and will require a recovery period of 3-4 months, making him unavailable for any transfers this season.

Chicago Fire FC head coach Gregg Berhalter expressed the impact of Mbokazi's absence, stating that the team must adapt and focus on being defensively solid. The Fire had paid around $3 million for Mbokazi in December 2025, and while there was interest from clubs like Nottingham Forest, any potential transfer is now off the table until next year.
