Barco hasn’t played in a league game for Atlanta United since May 5. He has been out with a knee injury. He was selected for the 18 in Sunday’s win against D.C. United, but wasn’t put into the game. De Boer said he thought Barco could have only gone for 15 minutes in that game. After three days of training, de Boer said Barco is ready for more.

“He’s really close to starting again and hopefully he can get some minutes against LAFC,” de Boer said.
