Atlanta United midfielder Ezequiel Barco will miss the first four-to-six weeks of the 2018 MLS season, the club announced Wednesday.

Barco, 18, suffered a right quad strain during training on Tuesday. The Argentinian arrived in Atlanta from Independiente as the most expensive transfer in MLS history.

Atlanta are set to make their regular season debut Saturday against the Houston Dynamo.
