Chicago Fire coach Frank Yallop has admitted to struggling to find suitable replacement for suspended Ghana attacker David Accam for their Major League Soccer clash with Real Salt Lake on Saturday. 

The 24-year-old got sent off in Fire's 1-0 loss at Sporting Kansas City last weekend and Yallop must find appropriate substitute for him ahead of Real Salt Lake's visit at the Toyota Park on Saturday night.

"Obviously, Accam's suspension is something we’re looking at right now. We’ve got six different scorers, but you need your central striker, whoever he is, you want him to get off the mark and get going," Yallop told MLS.com.

The Black Stars attacker has scored once in 4 league appearances for Fire who are also welcoming back Ghanaian winger Patrick Nyarko from long-term injury lay-off.
