Three more Atlanta United players receive call-ups

In addition to Miles Robinson and Brad Guzan, three more Atlanta United players were called up their national teams on Wednesday.

Midfielder Justin Meram was called up by Iraq, midfielder Ezequiel Barco by Argentina’s U23 team and fullback George Bello by the U.S. U17 team.

Meram has been invaluable for Atlanta United since being acquired in a trade with Columbus in May. The 30-year-old wingback has three goals in 13 league games.

Barco, 20, has four goals and two assists in 13 league games.

Bello has yet to play for Atlanta United in a league game this season. He started the team’s first game in the Champions League at Herediano in Costa Rica in February.
