Atlanta United rules out Giorgos Giakoumakis for Sunday’s match

Atlanta United striker Giorgos Giakoumakis was ruled out by the team for Sunday’s match against Philadelphia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Giakoumakis leads the team in scoring with five goals. This will be the second consecutive match that “Yamaki” has missed after sustaining a bone bruise in the win against Chicago on March 31.

Backup striker Jamal Thiare also will miss Sunday’s game because of a hamstring injury. Daniel Rios likely will start at striker.
