Atlanta United trained at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday afternoon in preparation for their home opener against D.C. United on Sunday. Tata Martino spoke to reporters in attendance and gave an update on two injuries to his squad. (Joe Patrick’s full report will follow later)
Leandro Gonzalez Pirez, who left the season-opening loss to Houston Dynamo with an injury to his side, was back in training and moving around as if he was ready to play.
Martino said that despite him looking good, an official ruling on Pirez’s availability for Sunday will be made after Saturday’s training session.
