What happened: Both players are on their first Short-Term Agreements of the season. MLS rules allow each deal to last up to four days and limit a player to two league appearances on such contracts.
Why it matters: The call-ups add first-team depth at forward and midfield without permanent roster moves. Jardines joined Atlanta United 2 on Aug. 17 after progressing through the club’s academy.
By the numbers: Dovlo and Jardines have combined for six goals and eight assists across 39 MLS NEXT Pro appearances this season.
What to watch: Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The match roster will determine whether either player is in line for a first-team appearance.
