Atlanta United FC News Release
ATLANTA - Atlanta United today announced it has recalled goalkeeper Justin Garces on a short-term loan agreement due to Extreme Hardship for Sunday's match against Inter Miami CF at DRV PNK Stadium (1 p.m., ESPN/ESPN Deportes, Sports Radio 92-9 The Game, La Mejor). This is Garces' second short-term loan agreement this season as the goalkeeper was named to Atlanta's match day roster Wednesday against Chattanooga FC.
According to MLS rules, a loaned player may be recalled to his MLS club for a short-term loan agreement in the case of Extreme Hardship. Extreme Hardship exists when an MLS club has either: 1) fewer than 16 outfield players available; or 2) fewer than two goalkeepers available. An individual player may be included on up to four MLS league season match rosters each season. However, that player may appear in no more than two MLS league season matches. An individual player may appear in any number of non-league games during the terms of his four short-term agreements.
Garces, 21, is in his first professional season with Atlanta United. He played for Atlanta United's Academy in 2017-18 before committing to UCLA. After four collegiate seasons, he signed as a Homegrown with Atlanta on Jan. 10 and was sent on a season-long loan to Atlanta United 2 on Feb. 25. He's started four matches for the club in the USL Championship and ranks third in the league with 17 saves. He has a 1-3-0 record with a 68 percent save percentage.
