Limited on minutes Giakoumakis generated one clearance in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Inter Miami CF.
Impact Giakoumakis made his first match back on the pitch since missing the last two matches with a hamstring injury. He is expected back in the starting XI once fully fit, scoring five goals with one assist in 10 appearances, eight of them coming as starts.
MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Wednesday Giakoumakis (hamstring) is back as a substitute option for the midweek game versus Inter Miami.
Impact Giakoumakis had been a regular starter in four consecutive matches before missing the last two due to the injury. However, he hasn't scored or assisted in any of his last five appearances despite tallying 17 shots (four on goal) over that period. He'll look to get back on the pitch, most likely as an alternative to Jamal Thiare in the middle of the front line.
MAY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Back training Giakoumakis (hamstring) was included in training Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's match against Miami, according to Doug Roberson of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Impact Giakoumakis appears to possibly be set for a return after missing the club's past two games, as he is now training and seems to have overcome his hamstring issues. He will likely get time if fit, as he is a regular starter when healthy. However, it is still unsure if he will start or not, more likely beginning on the bench to ensure no further aggregation of the injury.
MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play vs. LAFC Giakoumakis (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against LAFC, Doug Roberson of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Giakoumakis will miss a second consecutive contest due to a mild hamstring injury. However, he was spotted working independently during Thursday's session, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. His next chance to play will come against Inter Miami next Wednesday, and in the meantime, Daniel Rios should continue to start upfront for the Five Stripes.
MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Working individually Giakoumakis (hamstring) is working individually ahead of Saturday's match versus LAFC, per Dough Roberson of the AJC.
Impact Giakoumakis is still recovering from his hamstring injury as he has yet returned to full team training yet. This will likely keep him out of Saturday's match if he doesn't pass fitness, with Daniel Rios a chance to start again in the attack.

Impact Whether it's due to a concussion or a hamstring problem, the one thing that hasn't changed is that Giakoumakis will miss the trip to Nashville. His next chance to feature will come against Los Angeles FC on May 25.
MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Suffered concussion Giakoumakis (concussion) will not be an option during Saturday's trip to Nashville, per Dough Roberson of the AJC.
Impact Giakoumakis was forced off late Wednesday after suffering a suspected concussion. He is set to get reevaluated when the team arrived in Atlanta, which will rule him out Saturday. He has been scoreless the last five matches in a row, logging in five goals with one assist in nine appearances, eight of them coming as starts.

Creates one chance in return Giakoumakis recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus FC Cincinnati.
Impact Giakoumakis was back to action after missing two games with a knee injury. The forward subbed on in the 60th minute and could not do much other than creating one chance. That was his first appearance off bench in the season, with four starts before the absence.
APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE
Option off bench Giakoumakis (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Cincinnati.
Impact Giakoumakis was officially questionable for Saturday's clash but is fit enough to get back on the bench. The forward cedes his place in the starting XI to Daniel Rios, who is a competent attacker, though not as lethal as Giakoumakis.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable to play Saturday Giakoumakis (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.
Impact The star forward trained throughout the week and should be available to face one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Giakoumakis has enjoyed a strong start to the season after scoring five goals across his four appearances this season.
APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE
Trains again Giaoumakis (knee) was once again in training Thursday, per Doug Roberson of the AJC.
Impact Giaoumakis continues to train this week following his knee issues that have forced him to miss time. He did participate in team training, although he still was working with a bandage around his knee. He will now hope for a return against Cincinnati on Saturday, but the club may choose to sit him once again, taking his return cautiously to not cause aggravation, as he is one of their top contributing players when fit.
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Trained Monday Giakoumakis (knee) trained Monday ahead of Saturday's match against FC Cincinnati, reports Doug Roberson of the AJC.
Impact Giakoumakis is back on the training pitch for the first time since picking up a knee injury that saw him miss the last two matches. As long as the forward can train with no issues, then he could see a return against Cincinnati. Daniel Rios saw his first start the Union and is expected to start again if Giakoumakis is ruled out again.
APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE
Out once again Giakoumakis (knee) will not be an option for Sunday's match against Philadelphia, according to the club's injury report.
Impact Giakoumakis will set out his second straight match, still having yet to overcome the knee issues he picked up prior to last week's match against NYCFC. He will now look for a return against Cincinnati on April 20 in the club's next contest, as he was not expected to miss much time after an MRI didn't reveal any underlying problems.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out to face NYCFC Giakoumakis has been ruled out of Saturday's match against New York City FC on Saturday due to a bone bruise, Doug Roberson of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Manager Gonzalo Pineda confirmed the absence of Giakoumakis, who leads Atlanta with five goals this season. The MRI revealed Giakoumakis' knee is structurally sound, however, so the injury shouldn't keep him out for a long time. His next chance to feature will come against Philadelphia on April 14, and Jamal Thiare could emerge as his replacement since the status of Daniel Rios (calf) is also up in the air for Saturday.
