Atlanta United’s injury report for Tuesday’s game against Motagua didn’t change much from last week’s report.

The teams drew 1-1 last week in Honduras in the first leg of the Champions League series. The second leg will be Tuesday at Kennesaw State. Kick off is 8 p.m.  The game will be streamed on FS1.

Manager Frank de Boer said that centerback Miles Robinson (quad) and fullbacks George Bello (concussion) and Edgar Castillo (broken ribs) aren’t available. Robinson is week to week. He was on a stationary bike, de Boer said. Bello has re-joined training after sustaining his concussion two weeks ago in a friendly at Birmingham. Laurence Wyke is available for selection in Bello’s place, de Boer said.

Additionally, Matheus Rossetto isn’t available because work is still being done on his visa. De Boer said it could take 2-3 weeks. Also working on his visa and still not with the team is Manuel Castro.

Re-joining and available for selection are wingbacks Brooks Lennon and Jake Mulraney. Lennon wasn’t available to start last week’s game because he suffered an undisclosed injury in training. He did come off the bench to play. Mulraney was working on his visa, which has been secured.
