Jonathan dos Santos a late scratch for LA Galaxy vs. Atlanta United

The LA Galaxy started their match against Atlanta United on Saturday with a short bench and a key starter out.

Midfielder Jonathan dos Santos was a late scratch, due to an apparent injury during pregame warmups.

JDS looked to have gotten injured during pregame warmups. Awkwardly took a step along the touch line and immediately limped off towards the trainers. Favoring his right knee. #LAGalaxy #MLS #LAvATL

The injury and lineup switch were confirmed by LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano:

6' Major test for Baggio Husidic who enters the lineup in place of Jona dos Santos who will miss the game due to a calf injury.

Baggio Husidic was brought into the starting XI in dos Santos's place, although that left the Galaxy with just 17 active players as a result.

There will be no replacement on the bench for the @LAGalaxy, leaving Sigi with Carrasco, Pontius and Gio dos Santos -- who has played since the second week -- as cover in the midfield.
