Scores off bench
Fortune scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against New York City FC.
Analysis: Fortune made his second straight appearance off the bench and delivered a key contribution Saturday, helping Atlanta earn a point against NYCFC. He is still working back to full form after an injury absence, making four appearances since his return, including two starts. During that span, he has recorded one goal, two tackles and two clearances.
Starting midweek
Fortune (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Orlando City.
Analysis: Fortune was inactive since mid-July due to his issue, but he progressed well in his recovery and bounced back into a major role to face Orlando. He's usually able to rack up offensive output from his holding midfield position, having scored twice over 11 matches (six starts) in the 2026 MLS campaign, though his production will be unpredictable given his lack of form. William Reilly will see his playing time reduced with Fortune back in the lineup.
