Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for Atlanta United in 2022, it appears their relationship with Josef Martinez has worsened. The club announced on Wednesday that it has suspended the former MLS MVP for one week for “conduct detrimental to the team”.
Martinez will be unavailable for selection for this weekend’s match at home against Toronto FC and be eligible to return to team activities on Monday.
Needless to say, this is yet another piece of unwelcome news for both the club and striker in what has been an immensely frustrating season.
