Chicago Fire midfielder Djordje Mihailovic is training with German second division side Nurnberg, the two clubs have confirmed.
Nurnberg posted a tweet on Tuesday saying the 21-year-old United States international had spent a “few days” at the club during MLS’ offseason break.
Mit Djordje #Mihailovic ist ab sofort ein interessanter Offensivspieler von Chicago Fire für einige Tage zu Gast beim Club.
Der fünfmalige US-Nationalspieler nutzt die Pause in der MLS dazu, um sich die Bedingungen beim #FCN vor Ort anzusehen.
