Suspension over
Atencio has completed his one-game ban and is available again in league play.
Analysis: Atencio missed the previous match against LAFC after accumulating eight yellow cards throughout the 2026 season, with disciplinary issues continually limiting his fantasy value. Having started in three of the last four league games he was available for, he could have a decent chance to regain significant playing time at the expense of either Hamzat Ojediran or Youssef Maziz. The former Seattle Sounders man will likely contribute in the central midfield zone for a team that has dominated possession in three straight contests.
Serving suspension
Atencio is set to serve a one match suspension and will not play vs LAFC on Wednesday.
Analysis: Atencio will serve a second suspension after receiving his eighth yellow card of the season. He's started three of the last five matches, contributing three tackles, four clearances, and five interceptions in that span.
