One week into the MLS season, there's already been a seismic event that could alter the course of the year.
MLS Cup contender Atlanta United is down its top scoring threat after losing Josef Martinez to a torn ACL. The injury occurred in the second half of Atlanta's 2-1 win at Nashville SC, and while Martinez tried to play through it, it quickly became apparent that he could no longer go on. That'll now almost surely be the case for the duration of Atlanta United's season, dealing the Five Stripes a major early blow to their trophy hopes.
