Bags assist Picault assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Toronto FC.

Impact Picault wouldn't earn the start Saturday, but his entrance in the 59th minute would lead to success for Atlanta, finding Tristan Muyumba in the 67th minute for an assist and the game-winning goal. This comes as a decent run for Picault, as he also earned a goal in their last contest. He has been more of a super sub, but he could find a bigger role in the coming games due to his club's inability to score, sitting third in goal contributions for the club.

Excluded from injury report Picault (undisclosed) is not among Atlanta's unavailable players ahead of the third game week of the 2026 MLS season.

Impact Picault could have a chance to play for his new club following his departure from Inter Miami in January. The veteran winger will look to see minutes in the rotation with first-choice players Miguel Almiron and Aleksey Miranchuk. However, Picault could be difficult to trust for production with limited playing time.

Not spotted in training Picault (undisclosed) wasn't spotted in training Thursday and could be doubtful to play San Jose on Saturday, Doug Roberson of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Picault started in seven of his 20 appearances for Inter Miami in 2025, tallying four goals in 753 minutes. His involvement in training Friday will ultimately determine whether Picault can be an option for the weekend.

Signs with Atlanta Picault has signed with Atlanta out of free agency, according to his new club.

Impact Picault has found a new club this season and is joining just ahead of opening day, with the attacker inking a deal with Atlanta through 2026, with an option for the 2027 campaign. He last played with Miami, serving more of a rotational role with seven starts in 20 appearances, notching four goals. With Atlanta rebuilding and trying to find consistency in the squad, anyone, including Picault, will have a decent shot at minutes this season.

On bench for Atlanta match Picault (not injury related) is on the bench to face Atlanta United on Saturday.

Impact Picault was expected to remain out while on international duty with Haiti, but he could see a few minutes of action Saturday. He has recorded only six minutes on the field over the latest seven MLS game weeks, and his last goal came on May 31, so it's unclear if he'll actually play a meaningful role. In any case, he should be an alternative to Baltasar Rodriguez on the left flank.

Away with Haiti Picault was called up by Haiti and is out for Saturday's clash with Atlanta.

Impact Picault will miss Saturday's match with Atlanta while away with his national team. Picault has been struggling with injury of late, and isn't going to be a major loss in the starting XI while out. Baltasar Rodriguez should continue to play more with Picault out.

On bench Wednesday Picault (quadriceps) is on the bench for Wednesday's visit to New York City FC.

Impact Picault could see limited minutes midweek, in which case he'll bounce back from a three-game injury absence. He had registered 10 shots (four on target) and six crosses over his previous four MLS appearances, although none of those contributions led to a goal. The attacker has been used on the left wing, so he may be an option to replace Baltasar Rodriguez from the current starting lineup.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Injured to face Charlotte Picault (undisclosed) is injured for Saturday's match against Charlotte, according to Franco Panizo of MIA Total Futbol.

Impact Picault was not in training Friday and will now be sidelined after his early exit over the break, with the attacker still dealing with the undisclosed injury. This is unfortunate for the club, as he has started in their past two games. However, with Lionel Messi set to play Saturday, he will likely take Picault's role at forward.

Forced off injured Picault (undisclosed) was forced off in the 80th minute of Friday's clash against Honduras due to an apparent injury, according to Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald.

Impact Picault suffered an apparent injury while on international duty with Haiti, as he was forced off late in the game against Honduras on Friday. The Haitian will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he has to miss some time. That said, his potential absence will not impact the starting XI of Inter Miami since he is only a rotational option when Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi are available.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds starting XI Picault had two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Picault found the starting XI for the first time in a while Saturday, last earning that spot May 3. He would see 90 minutes of play while recording two shots and three crosses. He will hope to see more time moving forward, but will likely continue in his rotational spot, only starting in five of his 15 appearances.

Heading out with NT Picault has been called up by Haiti for the Gold Cup, according to the league.

Impact Picault has been a bench option for Miami in the frontline and is set to miss the Club World Cup but could also be out for the matches against Atlanta and Montreal if Haiti performs well and reaches the final of the Gold Cup. If Haiti doesn't come out of the group stages, he will not miss any MLS game and will likely be back for the game against Atlanta on June 28. That said, his potential absence wouldn't impact the starting XI, since he has been no more than a supersub for Miami recently.

Nets off bench Saturday Picault scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 5-1 win against Columbus Crew.
