Sandwiching two games in a week with a pair of extended breaks on either end of the upcoming matches may seem a little odd, but it will ensure that Atlanta United won’t be missing any key players due to international duty with World Cup Qualifiers coming up. One player who has been called into his team is midfielder Miguel Almiron who was just announced as a call-up for upcoming matches against at Chile and then hosting Uruguay.
Paraguay is currently eighth in CONMEBOL qualifying with only five points separating them from an automatic place in the 2018 World Cup.
