On bench against San Jose Amador (not injury related) is on the bench for Saturday's visit to San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Amador rejoined the team after getting his green card and is now eligible for future contests. He should be a strong contender to Elias Baez at left-back at some point later in the season. Over the 2025 MLS campaign, the Portuguese earned three clean sheets while averaging 2.3 clearances and 1.3 tackles per game.

Solid defensively Amador generated five tackles (one won) and five clearances in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Out against Montreal Amador (hamstring) isn't an option for Saturday's trip to Montreal, per the Atlanta injury report.

Impact Amador won't be an option for the first match back from the Leagues cup break, which will shift Brooks Lennon to left-back.

Amador's first chance to return will be an Aug. 16 trip to Colorado.

Whips in eight crosses Amador generated eight crosses (one accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Toronto FC.

He would earn a decent four crosses and a chance created in the attack to go along with one interception, two tackles won and four clearances in the defense. However, he will hope to add a bit more in the attack moving forward as he did register eight goal assists in 14 appearances last campaign, despite not seeing one in the same number of appearances this season.
