Eales: Franco Ibarra, Thiago Almada, Ozzie Alonso could be available vs. Charlotte FC

Atlanta United president Darren Eales said that Argentine midfielders Franco Ibarra and Santiago Sosa have returned to the United States after being away from the club in recent weeks while acquiring green cards.

He added that the club is cautiously optimistic that Ozzie Alonso could be available for selection Sunday after missing last week for precautionary reasons after seeing a cardiologist. Eales even added that the club is hoping that Thiago Almada will be back by the time Atlanta United kicks off against MLS expansion club Charlotte FC Sunday at 4:30 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
