Jacob Peterson is eligible to be selected by manager Gerardo Martino for Atlanta United’s game at Montreal on Saturday.

Peterson, a midfielder, sustained an ankle injury in practice last week that prevented him from participating in the 2-2 draw at Toronto.

Peterson’s return is important because midfielder Yamil Asad is suspended after receiving a red card in the second half of last week’s game.

Peterson, 31, has one goal this season.

Josef Martinez and Zach Loyd are on the injured list for the game.
