Option to face Chicago
Atuesta (thigh) is on the bench in Wednesday's clash with Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Atuesta's return is great news for an Orlando midfield that is missing both Martin Ojeda (thigh) and Braian Ojeda (foot) and currently starting Wilder Cartagena alongside Luis Otavio. After being sidelined in two of the last three MLS games, Atuesta will try to regain momentum as a substitute before bouncing back to a primary role. If that happens in the next few contests, his value will come from pass accuracy and tackling numbers.
On bench Saturday
Atuesta (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Inter Miami.
Analysis: Atuesta has recovered from the issue that forced him to miss the previous two weeks of league activity, and he's now an option to replace either Luis Otavio or Braian Ojeda in midfield. Despite having yet to score or assist this year, the Colombian enjoyed significant playing time in the last three games before his injury, tallying 116 accurate passes and seven tackles over that span.
