Injury ReportIt is with heavy hearts that we announce (and most of yall already know) that Josef suffered an ACL tear during the MLS openerTypical recovery for this type of injury is 3M to running, 6M to cutting and 9-12M to get back fully recovered mentally and physicallyWe still don't know if it is a partial or full tear yetThis could mean PB&J will never play together again as it is realistic Barco gets traded in the offse asonJosef has scored almost 40% of Atlanta United’s goals (that is over our entire history)Escobar was seen holding his right thigh at halftime and was taken off precautionary reasonsMiles has started running but not training with the team yetEdgar Castillo (rib injury)Total Tactics (makes the most since after injury report IMO and just focus on Josef)What does our lineup look like without Josef?174 of our 198 goals (historically - all time) have been scored by Josef, Villabla, Miggy and GresselWill we find a replacement or run with Adam Jahn?Season-ending Injury List:“Though it would come with the thudding finality that we won't get to see the superstar play until 2021, Atlanta could place Martinez on the season-ending injury list. Such a move would render him ineligible across all competitions for the remainder of the year, but they'd get some roster relief.Atlanta wouldn't get his Designated Player slot back, but, as Martinez makes more than $100,000 this season, they would be eligible to receive another senior roster spot to sign a replacement player. The replacement player can be signed for up to $250,000 this season, which would be an exemption on top of the salary cap.The 2018 MLS Cup winners would not be able to use allocation money to buy down that figure, meaning they couldn't acquire a player on more than $250,000 if they are designated as an injury-replacement. Theoretically, they could clear another senior roster spot to sign a more expensive player, should they have the budget (and/or allocation money) to do so.Atlanta United have until the end of the Primary Transfer Window (May 5) to decide to place Martinez on the season-ending injury list and sign a replacement. Clubs can only sign one replacement player per season.”Injury List:Placing Martinez on the injured list would crack the door open for a late-season return while still offering some limited roster relief. The move would make him ineligible for a minimum of six MLS league games. During the time Martinez is out, the club would have an extra senior roster spot to use. If he returns, the club would lose that extra roster spot.This move doesn't come with any additional budget help, but the club could spend whatever they could fit under the salary cap on that player.Remember: Atlanta acquired a base of $750,000 Targeted Allocation Money plus an additional $350,000 in incentives from D.C. United for Julian Gressel, as well as $1.05 million in allocation from Columbus Crew SC for Darlington Nagbe. They also received a transfer fee for Tito Villalba, up to $1 million of which can be converted into General Allocation Money.RecapStinger from Hyndman (up for goal of the week) and Barco both scored goalsWalker Zimmerman scored a goal off a set piece for NashvilleWhy didn't Willis (goalie) get a red card for those crazy two handballs at midfield?Blake talks about atmosphere brieflyBlake got score prediction right - 2-1MAN OF THE MATCH - Emerson HyndemanBeer of the Week (Terrapin)RecreationAle is specially formulated to accompany you on all of your adventures.
