Miles Robinson - Takes two shots in shut out win Robinson took two shots (one on target) and made an interception in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against the Rapids. He also won one of one tackles in the match.
Derick Etienne - Takes two shots in heavy win Etienne took two shots and created a chance in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against the Rapids.
Impact Etienne returned to the XI on the left wing Wednesday and was active if unspectacular in his side's comfortable win over Colorado. He should get a run in the starting lineup over the next month or so while Caleb Wiley (not injury related) competes at the upcoming u-20 World Cup.

Quentin Westberg - Keeps clean sheet against Colorado Westberg made three saves and kept a clean sheet in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against the Rapids.
Impact Westberg shut out an admittedly short-handed Colorado side Wednesday to keep his first clean sheet of the season, though regular starting goalkeeper Brad Guzan (knee) is nearing a return from injury. Westberg is still expected to be the one to take on the Fire at the weekend.

Brooks Lennon - Brace of assists vs. Colorado Lennon created six chances and assisted two goals in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against the Rapids. He also took two shots and made a clearance in the match.
Impact Lennon's first assist Wednesday to Luiz Araujo was much more about the Brazilian's dribble than it was about Lennon's pass, but his second helper of the night was a 50-yard cross straight to the shoulder of Giorgos Giakoumakis -- who still had some spectacular work of his own to do, by the way. Lennon and teammate Thiago Almada are the current MLS leaders in assists with six apiece, and they're also first and second in chances created as Lennon's 32 trails the World Cup winner's 37.

Tyler Wolff - Scores goal in rare appearance Wolff subbed into Wednesday's match against the Rapids in the 84th minute and he scored a goal in the 4-0 victory.
Impact Wolff made just his second league appearance of the season on Wednesday after returning early from a loan to Belgium in January, but he scored his first ever MLS goal by tapping in from a goal-mouth scramble against Colorado. The 20-year-old could get some more playing time moving forward on the wings as the campaign continues.

Luiz Araujo - Scores goal against Colorado Araujo took seven shots (four on target) and scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against the Rapids. He also created four chances and won two of two tackles in the match.
Impact Araujo notched his third goal of the season Wednesday following a long solo run through the opposition defense. He's averaging 3.1 shots per 90 minutes in MLS in 2023, but he's reportedly set to leave for Brazil in the summer.

Giorgos Giakoumakis - Scores goal as substitute Giakoumakis took three shots (one on target) and scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against the Rapids. He also made a clearance and created three chances in the match.
Impact Giakoumakis played the majority of the second half on Wednesday as he continues to build up to full fitness from a recent hamstring injury. But he looked completely healthy when settled a 50-yard Brooks Lennon cross on his chest, spectacularly took the opposing goalkeeper out of the equation with an arching flick and tapped in his sixth goal of the season from close range. He'll aim to be ready to start up front against Chicago at the weekend.

Thiago Almada - Scores free kick against Colorado Almada took seven shots (three on target) and scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against the Rapids. He also made an interception and created four chances in the match.
Impact Almada banged in his sixth goal of the season on Wednesday, and his third from a direct free kick. He also posted his fifth game of the campaign with at least five shots taken, as well as his seventh match with at least four chances. Quite simply, the World Cup winner is a must-play every time he lines up for Atlanta United.

Andrew Gutman - Returning from suspension Gutman will be eligible to feature in Saturday's clash against the Fire after returning from a red card suspension.
Impact Gutman missed the midweek win over Colorado after getting sent off in the previous game against Charlotte, but he should return to the XI ahead of Ronald Hernandez at left-back to face Chicago on Saturday

Franco Ibarra, Santiago Sosa and Matheus Rossetto will be able to cover for him in the position.

Caleb Wiley - Called up to youth national team Wiley has been called up by the U.S. Youth National Team for the upcoming u-20 World Cup in Argentina, meaning he'll miss up to a month of MLS action for the tournament.
Impact Wiley has been a regular starter for Atlanta since the start of last season, and he's tallied three goals and two assists mostly from the left wing in 2023. But he will link up with the YNT following Saturday's loss to Charlotte and will miss at least four MLS games while competing in this tournament. Derrick Etienne should take over in the XI until he returns.

Giorgos Giakoumakis - Takes two shots off bench in return Giakoumakis (hamstring) subbed into Saturday's match against Charlotte FC in the 71st minute and he took two shots in the 3-1 defeat.
Impact Giakoumakis returned to action Saturday after missing Atlanta's previous two MLS games with a hamstring injury. He's taken multiple shots in each of his last six league appearances, and will hope to be fit enough to take back over from Miguel Berry as the starting striker by the Colorado match on Wednesday.

Impact Gutman will serve a suspension after being shown a straight red card Saturday. He's already missed two matches this season, starting in 10 out of 11 appearances thus far. This means that Caleb Wiley will likely move to left back with Derrick Etienne an option to start in the midfielder on Wednesday.
