Disclaimer: the shape that Atlanta United shows in its lineup graphic probably won’t matter. It’s going to change - and change quite a bit. You’re definitely going to see players shift around and find themselves in spots they may not normally play.
Having said that, we do get some bad news and good news ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Columbus Crew SC. The bad news: Atlanta will be without Pity Martinez, who is still nursing a hamstring injury sustained during the international break, as well as George Bello, who is reported as “week-to-week” with a groin injury.
