Atlanta United prepares to strengthen its lineup as winger Edwin Mosquera returns for the team's upcoming match against the Philadelphia Union. Mosquera has successfully rehabilitated an ankle injury sustained against Inter Miami on March 16 and is now omitted from the club's latest availability report.

Mosquera began the current season with a strong performance, delivering a crucial goal in the opening match for Atlanta United. In just seven minutes on the field, he made a substantial impact, securing the AT&T Goal of the Matchday accolade and earning the team their first victory of the season.

Atlanta United's head coach Ronny Deila emphasized the importance of the wingers in his game plan, stating, "they have to have legs, and they have to run." This week, Mosquera participated fully in training, effectively engaging in various drills and contributing goals during practice scrimmages. His return could provide the needed boost for a team seeking a goal from open play, a feat they have not achieved in over 180 minutes of match time.

Despite the positive news regarding Mosquera, the team will still be without center back Derrick Williams, who remains on the recovery path from a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the last two games. The current availability report, however, is the lightest this season, with only one player officially unavailable for selection.

As Atlanta United faces a challenging series of away matches, starting with the Philadelphia Union, the team's increasing fitness will be crucial. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET and can be viewed on Apple TV via the MLS Season Pass.
