Fire’s Friedrich out with injured hamstring

The Chicago Fire announced Monday that German defender Arne Friedrich has returned to Berlin to seek treatment on his injured hamstring.

Friedrich hasn’t played in either of the Fire’s first two games this season, both losses. He is expected to be gone at least a few weeks.

The Fire also announced that forward Kellen Gulley, an 18-year-old homegrown player, is trying out with the NASL’s Atlanta Silverbacks for a possible loan.
