Ajani Fortune Injury: Option exercised

Fortune (foot) has had his option exercised and will return to Atlanta for the 2026 season, according to his club.

Fortune will remain with Atlanta after ending his season with a foot injury in July, with the midfielder and club picking up his option for the 2026 season. The midfielder started in eight of his 15 appearances before his injury ended his season, serving in a rotational role while bagging one goal. He should be fit by the start of the next season and will likely stay in a similar role, with the club looking for new options after the rough season.
