Jones was set to start against The Ticos in their World Cup Qualifier match at Costa Rica. There aren’t many details on the type of injury Jones may have suffered, but CONCACAF matches are notorious for being played on tough pitches. Injuries during warm ups are rare, but being pulled out of the starting XI means it’s serious enough to be concerned about it for Atlanta United fans.
