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.

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.
