Injuries and Suspended players
DC United team news
Christian Benteke, last season’s Golden Boot winner, recently returned from injury and is expected to play a larger role after making a substitute appearance in the last match. His aerial ability remains the focal point of DC’s attack, which relies heavily on service from the flanks.
However, DC will again be without right-back Aaron Herrera, who remains on international duty, while midfielder Matti Peltola has returned from the Finland U-21s and adds depth in midfield.
Atlanta United team news
The Five Stripes have been creative in attack but have struggled to convert consistently
Emmanuel Latte Lath leads the team with five goals, and the return of Miguel Almirón adds creativity to the midfield. With no fresh injury concerns, they will be hoping to climb back up the standings.
