Scores again in draw Silva scored a goal off three shots (two on target), created one chance and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Houston.

With goals in back-to-back games after being scoreless over the previous 10 appearances, the attacker will hope to remain in the team for the upcoming contests.

Impact Silva was spotted in training earlier this week, and it sound as if he'll be a game-time call for Saturday's clash against the Loons. Silva has made four starts and logged six appearances this season, but he's yet to record a goal or an assist, so he hasn't exactly been productive in 2024.

Impact Silva has missed three of Atlanta's last four games, logging just 30 minutes off the bench in that span, but his return to training is certainly positive news for an attacking line that could use some kind of boost.
