Nowadays, it’s an accomplishment if Atlanta United get through an entire training session without an injury, if not an entire match. Alas, an absolutely comical injury situation got even worse for the Five Stripes on Saturday.
Let’s leave out the fact that Atlanta conceded on yet another set piece by granting Jonathan Mensah a free header to make it 1-0 inside of a minute against the Columbus Crew. Instead, let’s talk what happened afterwards: Ronald Hernandez, getting the start for an injured Andrew Gutman, immediately went down clutching his left leg. Hernandez tried to give it a go, but ultimately gave way to Mikey Ambrose in the 7th minute.
