Asked #VWFC's Jesper Sørensen about Jeeven Badwal's availability for Tuesday at Chicago #CF97.

"For Chicago I think it's doubtful. Let's see if he can make it for LAFC, but we'll see."

Jeevan worked in the gym today and was in the sauna.

#VWFC will charter back to Vancouver tonight, likely at the set time they would have travelled home after the match against #CF97

The air quality is still quite hazardous.

#VWFC’s Jesper Sørensen will be making his first visit to Chicago when Vancouver plays #CF97 on Thursday at Soldier Field.

Asked him about deep-dish pizza.

“Deep-dish pizza, it doesn’t look that good. If I want a pie, I go to a pie place and not for pizza.”

Robert Lewandowski is prepared to make his MLS & Chicago Fire debut tonight vs Vancouver.

And while he needs to adjust, he's not concerned about figuring out Gregg Berhalter's system & his teammates.

Perhaps more difficult is "soccer."
