Seven Atlanta United Stars Depart For September And October Window
Seven Atlanta United players get national team call-ups for the September and October FIFA window. See the full list of departures and match dates.
Atlanta United FC has announced that seven of their stars will depart for international duty during the September and October FIFA window. This group includes Miguel Almirón, Júnior Alonso, Paulo Díaz, Breel Embolo, Alexey Miranchuk, Fafà Picault, and Cooper Sanchez. Most of these players will miss the upcoming match against New York City FC on September 26, with only Embolo and Sanchez staying to play.
The departures represent a significant blow to the team, as the group contains key players with deep international experience. The coaching staff faces a challenge in finding replacements who can immediately step into the void left by Almirón and Díaz, who control the tempo and defense. The schedule is tight, with games scheduled shortly after the window closes, making the transition for returning players even more challenging.
