Atlanta United head coach Gonzalo Pineda met with media today at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training ground as his team makes preparations for Saturday’s match against D.C. United .
During the session, Pineda gave an update on Atlanta United Designated Player and star winger Luiz Araujo. The Brazilian pulled his hamstring just 20 minutes into the season as he scored the opener in a 3-1 win over Sporting Kansas City. Pineda said Araujo is steadily progressing, but cautioned that the club will be very patient to bring him back into the fold.
