Atlanta United 2 has announced its player availability ahead of critical matches against Chattanooga FC and Columbus Crew. All players are available for selection for the match against Chattanooga FC on October 5. However, injuries and suspensions may impact future games, including a match against Columbus Crew.

Forward Emmanuel Latte Lath is currently listed as out for the weekend match but participated in training on Thursday. The coaching staff anticipates that the break Latte Lath has taken to heal will enable him to play through the remainder of the season. His match fitness will be evaluated before the upcoming game against San Diego FC.

Additionally, Matt Edwards, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury since late July, will miss the matchup against Columbus Crew. Other precautionary measures have resulted in the absence of key players, even though Atlanta United remains healthy and possesses squad depth.

Jay Fortune continues to recover from a foot injury sustained in June; he is now out of his walking boot. His rehabilitation progress will dictate when he can return to play. Bartosz Slisz, a potential starter, is serving a suspension for yellow-card accumulation and will miss the game against Columbus.

Several players from the First Team are returning from international duty, which may impact the options available to the coaching staff. Atlanta United’s match against San Diego FC is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, showcasing Latin Heritage Night. Special merchandise, such as the “Somos Atlanta Collection,” will be available for fans.

This week, the team conducted an intense training session in cooler weather. Coach Ronny Deila has emphasized the importance of treating every remaining match as a “cup final,” in light of the team’s aspirations for a playoff spot. The players are focused on enhancing consistency and performance as the season nears an end, particularly following a challenging match against Columbus, which was marked by a surprising five-goal first half.

In an effort to bolster performance, the club is looking to explore different personnel and tactical adjustments over the final five matches. Coach Deila intends to derive more contributions from summer transfer addition Juan Berrocal. As they gear up for San Diego FC, Atlanta United will face a significant defensive challenge, given San Diego’s strong record in goals and assists.

Atlanta United aims to leave a positive mark in the closing matches of the season. Tickets for upcoming games are available for purchase online or by contacting the ticket sales team.
