Seven Atlanta United players called up for September, October national duty

Atlanta United confirmed that seven players have received call-ups for national team duty during the September and October FIFA international window, which spans from September 21 to October 6. Miguel Almirón, Júnior Alonso, Paulo Díaz, Breel Embolo, Alexey Miranchuk, Fafà Picault, and Cooper Sanchez will leave the team, significantly impacting the squad for the upcoming match against New York City FC on September 26. Almirón and Alonso will represent Paraguay, Díaz will join Chile, and Embolo will play for Switzerland, among others. The team faces challenges in replacing key players who control tempo and defense during this critical period. Bench players will need to step up to maintain performance as the team navigates the absence of these stars.
