What is up, Atlanta soccer family!
While the world’s absolute elite continue to trade blows down at Atlanta Stadium for the World Cup, our very own Atlanta United 2 boys are getting ready to step onto the pitch tonight for a massive MLS NEXT Pro midsummer showdown.
If you were hoping for a tactical boost ahead of this weekend’s critical fixture, the club’s communications team just delivered the absolute best news possible. Atlanta United 2 has officially released its availability report for Matchday 16, and for the second consecutive week, it is completely blank.
Every single player on the roster is fully healthy, cleared, and available for selection!
No Injuries, No Absences, Pure Synergy
Having a 100% healthy locker room during the grueling, humid heat of a Southern June campaign is a massive luxury. Head coach Jose Silva Caparros has the ultimate tactical chessboard at his disposal tonight as the team gears up to host Crown Legacy FC (the Charlotte FC reserve affiliate).
With full-back phenom Seyi Fakiyesi and midfield engine David Ilevbare buzzing off their recent MLS NEXT All-Star selections, having the entire supporting cast fully healthy means our tactical pressing system can operate at peak efficiency. There are no nagging hamstring issues, no knee cleanups, and no international duty absences holding the squad back.
Matchday Details: Protect Home Turf
The boys are back in Kennesaw tonight, looking to erase the sting of last week’s tight 3-2 away loss against Columbus Crew 2 and capture all three points to push right back up the Eastern Conference table.
