Atlanta United will resume team training on Wednesday

Atlanta United will resume team training Wednesday because there were no positive confirmed tests for COVID-19 on Monday. The team was off Tuesday.

The team reported two positive tests for first team players last week. Both players are asymptomatic and have been isolated at home since June 17. Neither player has been identified.

The team soon will travel to Orlando to compete in the league tournament. MLS hasn’t announced the schedule of games, but it could be released this week.
