After a seemingly never-ending series of bad news on the injury front, there’s finally some good news: Josh Atencio will apparently be back against Atlanta United on Sunday.
“He was in training this week,” Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer told reporters on Friday. “I expect him to be involved in the game.”
What kind of role is obviously still to be determined, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility that Atencio could be reinserted into the starting lineup. Atencio started the Sounders’ first two games of the season, barely putting a foot wrong in either.
