Atlanta UnitedStatus uncertain due to illness
Latte Lath is at risk of missing Sunday's game against Columbus Crew after picking up an ailment, the league reported Saturday.
Analysis: Latte Lath is no longer a guaranteed starter, and his role is likely to remain limited if he doesn't regain health before the World Cup break. In that case, the forward will be unable to increase his totals of two goals and two assists over 13 league matches played this season. While Cayman Togashi offers a natural alternative, Aleksey Miranchuk has also been deployed as a striker a few times in recent contests.
Scores goal
Latte Lath scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over CF Montreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 4th minute.
Analysis: Latte Lath was back in a starting role after two bench appearances in a row and made the time count, scoring a goal in stoppage time of the first half. This gives the forward his second goal of the season, also with two assists. He is now up to nine goals in his two seasons with the club, having yet to break the double-digit mark.
Shotless in loss
Latte Lath created one chance and suffered one foul in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Nashville SC.
Analysis: Latte Lath was held without a shot, marking back-to-back home outings without getting off a shot. Atlanta's primary striker has just one goal on the season, something he'll look to change in Wednesday's home clash with New England.
