The injury list has grown shorter and shorter for Atlanta United in recent weeks. But in a big match out west against the Portland Timbers, it does include two names of note: Franco Escobar sustained a knock against América, while a hip injury will hold Eric Remedi out of the lineup. Brandon Vazquez won’t play either as he played about 30 minutes for ATL UTD 2 on Friday in a rehab stint while nursing a hip injury of his own.
But it’s not all bad for Atlanta, who do have some pieces to work with.
