The status of Atlanta United fullback Greg Garza will be evaluated Saturday ahead of Sunday’s game against Montreal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Garza has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury sustained in the first half of the 7-0 win against New England. The team drew 3-3 with Orlando City and defeated the L.A. Galaxy 4-0 in the two games Garza missed.

Garza, 26, has 24 appearances this season. He has scored two goals with five assists.

Additionally, goalkeeper Alec Kann will remain out because of an injured quad.

Atlanta United (13-8-7) will host Montreal (11-12-6) in an important game for both teams. The Five Stripes (13-8-7) are in fourth in the Eastern Conference with 46. The Impact (11-12-6) are in seventh with 39 points.
