Chicago Fire coach Carlos de los Cobos announced today that midfielder Nery Castillo has gone missing.
Evidence indicates that Mr. Castillo vanished within days of the press conference announcing his signing with the Fire. Although official records claim that he played in a handful of matches, he is nowhere to be seen in the game film.
This would not be the first time that Mr. Castillo has mysteriously went missing. Almost immediately after being signed by Ukranian club Shakhtar Donetsk, he disappeared for nearly two straight years.
If you have any information about Mr. Castillo’s whereabouts please contact the Chicago Fire front office immediately. If you attempt to look for him, we suggest not looking anywhere near Toyota Park at match time.
Update: A tipster reported that Mr. Castillo had been located, however, after further investigation the person spotted turned out to be Luis Ángel Landín.
The most unsurprising disappearance in the history of soccer.
