Regardless of whether or not Ezequiel Barco, Franco Escobar, Greg Garza, or Jeff Larentowicz are available to play this Saturday against LAFC, one thing is certain. Leandro Gonzalez Pirez will not be.
The Argentinean picked up a red card in the first half of last weekend’s game against Minnesota United and is suspended for one match. Ultimately, the show must go on and Atlanta United need to find an alternative to compensate for his absence at center back.
“We’ve got a few guys capable of playing there,” said captain Michael Parkhurst.
