Edwin Mosquera suffered a mensicus injury in his left knee and is expected to miss at least three weeks, Atlanta United said Tuesday.

The injury happened in the first half of Atlanta United’s 2-2 draw with Houston last week at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Mosquera has two assists in 15 appearances this season.

Mosquera is the second Atlanta United playerwho has suffered a meniscus injury this season, joining centerback Stian Gregersen. Mosquera was replaced by Luke Brennan.

Atlanta United is down to three wingers for matches at D.C. United on Wednesday and at St. Louis on Saturday.

Xande Silva started and scored against Houston in his first start since suffering an adductor injury. Tyler Wolff hasn’t played since suffering an MCL sprain injury. He could be available for Wednesday, interim manager Rob Valentino said Monday. Saba Lobjanidze is with Georgia competing in the European Championships.
