Minnesota United vs Atlanta United: Atlanta's Momentum Test
Minnesota United host Atlanta United at their usual home in the Twin Cities on Wednesday night in MLS Matchday 20, a quick turnaround for both sides after contrasting results at the weekend.
Team News and Injury Latest
Minnesota are without three players because of lower-extremity issues: Nicolás Romero, Peter Stroud and Nectarios Triantis are all ruled out, according to the league’s player status report. The Loons were without designated player Morgan Guilavogui (concussion protocol) in their last outing, though his availability for this midweek fixture is unclear.
Atlanta’s injury list is dominated by a hamstring problem for midfielder Jay Fortune, who suffered a setback in training last week and will miss the trip. Defender Enea Mihaj is serving a suspension after a red card against Philadelphia, and new signing Mauricio Amaro is still unavailable while his visa is processed. Homegrown midfielder Will Reilly is questionable with an ankle issue. On the positive side, summer arrival Paulo Díaz has received his visa and could make his debut, while Steven Alzate is back in contention after nursing an injury and sorting out green-card logistics.
