MLS ATLANTA UNITED F.C.: '18 MLS CUP CHAMPS/'19 Campeones Cup

Josef Martinez left practice with an arm injury

No timetable on his return

Maybe they slide Villiaba over and Barco is in the lineup

After sending the City of Atlanta into full-fledged panic yesterday after injuring his arm in training and leaving the field with a freakishly large air cast on his left arm, Josef Martinez was back in training today:

The video in the tweet doesn’t show it, but he is reportedly working with a cast on the arm, according to Doug Roberson of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Clearly it is far smaller than the temporary air cast Martinez was placed in yesterday, but details of the injury and the nature of the cast have not yet been released.


Should he need to wear a cast for a while, it does not necessarily prohibit him from playing on Sunday. Law 4 covers player equipment and says this about protective gear:

Non-dangerous protective equipment, for example headgear, facemasks and knee and arm protectors made of soft, lightweight padded material is permitted as are goalkeepers’ caps and sports spectacles.
I would interpret that to mean that a fully rigid cast is acceptable if covered in some form of padding. There are of course plenty of other lower arm protection options that would be fully acceptable under this Law.

2-2

Couldn’t keep them down but that’s why they are regarded as best in the league.

Good to see Barco playing

 

[#1 pick]

Tough game, I felt we must do better finishing than we did in this game. Martinez disappointed. David Villa is a beast. Alrimon is really good enough to start and shine for someone like Arsenal. He's that good.

Tough result against one of the better clubs in MLS. But I'll take the tie

-Nagbe had what would've been his first goal called back because of an offsides

-Barco made his first appearance

Great competitive match to watch

 

[The ADD]

LGP didn’t do anything dumb so that’s a positive

Saw the game from 70th minute onwards , some left footed breh was dancing around NY's midfield. Nagbe seemed a bit slow in his position.
