If you didn’t plan to see Atlanta United 2 play this Saturday at 7 p.m., reconsider. All signs point to Andrew Carleton making his first appearance for the Five Stripes’ reserve team.
A recent debate among the Atlanta fanbase is centered around what’s more beneficial for Carleton’s development: staying close to the first team and playing a handful of minutes for them as a late substitute on occasion or consistently playing an abundance of minutes against lesser competition in USL? It seems that Atlanta will soon test their options.
As the first team prepares for Saturday night’s showdown against the Los Angeles Galaxy, Carleton wasn’t seen coming off the team bus.
