INSIDE THE 18: Andrés Reyes Returns to Backline vs. Atlanta United FC

Andrés Reyes, fresh off a game missed due to a red card, is back in on defense for the New York Red Bulls as they face off against Atlanta United FC at Red Bull Arena.

Reyes will pair on the backline with Sean Nealis, Cameron Harper and Kyle Duncan.

Harper scored in the team’s last match, a 2-2 draw with Charlotte FC. Duncan recorded his second-career multi-assist match after tallying two assists in the draw. 

The Red Bulls have posted a 3-0-2 record at home against Atlanta United FC in the regular season and have earned a result in four of their last five matches against Atlanta. 

Daniel Edelman and Cristian Cásseres Jr. lock down the defensive midfield. Tom Barlow, Elias Manoel, Luquinhas and Dru Yearwood push the attack.

New York suffered their first loss in regular season history to Atlanta in April in a 1-0 loss at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 

Off the bench, Head Coach Troy Lesesne will have Omir Fernandez, Ronald Donkor, Wiki Carmona, Frankie Amaya, Peter Stroud, Omar Valencia, Hassan Ndam and Jayden Reid available. Ryan Meara will serve as backup goalkeeper.

Dante Vanzeir, Lewis Morgan, Serge Ngoma, Dylan Nealis and Steven Sserwadda will miss the match due to injuries. Cory Burke and John Tolkin are away from the team on international duty.
