Atlanta United goalkeeper Brad Guzan dives to block a shot during a soccer match last year. He says he’s eager to get back on the pitch, but not at the risk of anyone’s health.

Brooks Lennon likes being back at Atlanta United’s training facility in Marietta, even if workouts are currently limited individual drills.

“Just a lot more equipment than I would have by myself, and also there’s coaches out there that are telling you exactly what to do,” said the 22-year-old Lennon, who’s in his first season with the Five Stripes.

Atlanta United’s season has been on hold since mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
