Atlanta United players poured out onto the pitch at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground on Tuesday morning as they looked to shake off an abrasive prior week against Nashville and Memphis 901. A quick tunnel celebration was set up for a couple of players - Quentin Westberg returned to training while Brooks Lennon commemorated his 100th match with the club - and guys rapidly dove into the day’s session. Warm-ups began under a beautiful, sunny sky, and the team was accompanied by a surprisingly stout extra player - the brisk, gusty wind.
Gonzalo Pineda approached the media to explain the day’s drills and how the team would push forward after the heavy load they’d experienced during the first true fixture congestion of 2023.
