D.C. United vs. Atlanta United: A Look at the 5-Stripes’ Health Ahead of Saturday’s Match
Atlanta United is entering Saturday’s contest against D.C. United with a relatively clean bill of health, a blessing the team doesn’t take for granted. As the 2026 season progresses, maintaining player fitness is paramount. Currently, only three players appear on the injury report, with two confirmed to be unavailable for the match against D.C. United.
Injury Updates
- Reilly: Continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. His return timeline remains uncertain.
- Sergio Santos: Added to the injury report due to an illness. His availability will be assessed closer to kickoff.
- Juan Berrocal: Remains questionable with a hamstring injury sustained during training last week. This is his second time appearing on the report.
Fortune’s Return
Positive news surrounds midfielder Jay Fortune, who has been cleared from the injury report after a lengthy absence due to a foot injury. Fortune is building his match fitness, having played a half with Atlanta United 2 last weekend. Head coach Tata Martino indicated that Fortune is nearing a return to the First Team.
“I went through about three days of both fear and excitement,” Fortune shared, reflecting on his return to the pitch with the 2s. “… It was great. Had the butterflies, had the excitement, had the enjoyment of going through it. Those are all things, as a footballer, that you want to feel.”
