Venezuela call up Josef Martinez for September friendlies

It’s that time of the year again. Time to worry about your best players on international duty. In a few weeks time, FIFA’s international calendar will open for the first time since the end of the 2018 World Cup and countries around the globe will play their first friendlies of a new cycle. Atlanta United will likely have several players participating in these and one big one has already been confirmed.

Josef Martinez was included in Venezuela’s 24-player roster to play Colombia and Panama on September 7 and 11 respectively.

Thankfully, Martinez won’t have a ton of traveling to do as the match against Colombia is set to take place in Miami before a trip to Panama rounds out the friendly schedule.
