They say that you should learn something new everyday, but Atlanta United’s clash against Nashville should take care of a month or two. In the 171 days since the Tennessee side’s first ever MLS game at a packed Nissan Stadium, the landscape has been drastically altered both on and off the pitch. Josef Martinez is out with a season ending injury, leaving Atlanta rather thin at the striker position. Frank de Boer, meanwhile, is no longer gracing the Five Stripes’ touchline after a “mutual termination” following a dreadful MLS is Back performance.
What the club will look like next, or even this particular match is unknown.
