According to Steven Goff of the Washington Post, that resumption could happen as soon as the Aug. 21-23 weekend.

Erik López on his move to #MLS:
“ATLUTD 2 acquired me because of a roster space issue, but they’ll loan me to the first team for 6 months. I’ll go straight to the first team, at least that’s what my agent and #ATLUTD’s sporting director explained to me.” https://t.co/n1ug4pN7h7

López also spoke highly of Píty Martinez, saying “I always used to watch him play in River and he seems to be a tremendous player.”
López could play a significant role in Atlanta’s short and long term future due to the absence of the injured Josef Martinez, who was placed on the Season-Ending Injury List.
