We guess Philip Zinckernagel has caught the adventurous Champions League trip to Bodø/Glimt. Two rounds for the Dane in the yellow shirt with Kjetil Knutsen’s Bodø/Glimt football have left their mark. Still, Zinckernagel himself has been part of a personal upturn in MLS, where his background with the team at Aspmyra is a clear factor that has influenced the Dane’s immediate success in his debut season.
In the current 2026 season, Zinckernagel has started in all of the first four games for the Chicago Fire. Although he has so far been without a goal, he is highlighted as one of the team’s most important creative pieces. A creativity and finishing ability that made his own supporters cheer and the opponents despair last season.
