Before we get into the match recap, let’s do a quick season recap so we can establish the groundwork for Atlanta’s starting lineup against the New England Revolution. Atlanta United is missing a bunch of players right now. Due to injury, Atlanta is missing Emerson Hyndman, Franco Ibarra and Mo Adams. Atlanta is also missing George Bello, Brad Guzan, Miles Robinson and Ezequiel Barco, who were all called up for national team competition.
Atlanta United also missed Josef Martinez on Saturday. However, he’s still in Atlanta (in fact, he was in the stadium to watch the game) and he isn't injured.
