Bench option against RSL
Atencio (concussion) is among the substitutes for Saturday's trip to Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Atencio is back in the match squad following a two-game absence, offering an alternative to Connor Ronan and Hamzat Ojediran in the holding midfield zone. The former Seattle Sounders man is typically valuable for his ball recovery and distribution numbers, as he only occasionally pushes forward, having scored one goal in 10 games this season.
Will travel to Salt Lake City
Atencio (concussion) will be in the squad for Saturday's game at Real Salt Lake, according to Burgundy Wave.
Analysis: Atencio has missed the Rapids' last two games due to the injury, but it seems he's ready to return to action. He has started in all but two of his 10 appearances in the current league campaign, so expect Atencio to return to the XI as soon as he's fit to do so, potentially as early as this Saturday.
