Shown red card Almiron was shown a red card in stoppage time of the first half of Friday's match against Turkiye.

Impact Almiron would be the first player to be sent off for the "Vini rule" at the World Cup on Friday, as he was shown his marching orders for covering his mouth as he talked to a Turkiye player. This will leave him out for their final group stage match, a major loss for the team as he is a major part of their attack and a veteran presence. He hopes this doesn't end his World Cup as well, as Paraguay is far from safe from qualifying for the knockouts.

Sees yellow for simulation in loss Almiron took two shots (off target), committed one foul, suffered one foul, and picked up a yellow card for simulation in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States.

Impact Almiron was one of Paraguay's primary outlets in transition, but the match never developed in a way that allowed him to consistently influence the attack. The United States' control of midfield possession and defensive organization largely neutralized his biggest strengths. While he had moments of positive ball progression and attacking intent, he was unable to produce the decisive chance creation or finishing that Paraguay needed to challenge the Americans.

Primary playmaker for Paraguay Almiron should have an important role as one of Paraguay's main playmakers in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Almiron hasn't had his best season with Atlanta United in 2026, notching just two assists across eight appearances in the current league campaign. However, Almiron tends to play a critical role in Paraguay due to his extensive experience in Europe, and he's ticketed to be one of Los Guaranies' main playmaking threats alongside Julio Enciso (thigh).

Picked for bench Almiron (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Columbus.

Impact Almiron was back in training this week, and that has led to his return, with the attacker set for a bench role Sunday. He will look for a few minutes to test his legs, but is unlikely to be risked too much, as he is set to play in the World Cup with Paraguay in just a few weeks.

Spotted in training Almiron (knee) was spotted in training ahead of Saturday's game against Columbus Crew, according to Atlanta United reporter Doug Roberson.

Impact Almiron was spotted in training, meaning the playmaker should be available to suit up in Atlanta's final game before the 2026 FIFA World Cup break. Almiron has two assists in seven league outings in 2026, and he's expected to play a big role with Paraguay in the World Cup as well.

Considered day to day Almiron (knee) is being monitored on a daily basis, with manager Gerardo Martino commenting "Miguel trained inside with the physios ... We're continuing to monitor him, and we'll d...

Impact Almiron's status remains a doubt while he works on his recovery from an issue that has already sidelined him for four league games. The attacker would be a guaranteed starter if fully healthy, but he may have his playing time managed in the short term until there's no risk of an injury setback. Therefore, Luke Brennan and Saba Lobzhanidze may see more opportunities on the left wing if the Paraguayan star remains absent.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for around two weeks Almiron (knee) will be sidelined for around two weeks due to knee irritation, according to Atlanta United reporter Doug Roberson.

Impact There's a chance Almiron misses less than two weeks, but one thing is certain -- he won't be available for Saturday's game against Nashville and shouldn't be an option to face New England on Wednesday, either. Almiron has two assists and no goals in seven MLS starts this season. Luke Brennan should get a larger role on offense with Almiron sidelined.

Suffers knee discomfort Almiron (knee) was taken off as a precaution during Wednesday's 3-1 US Open Cup win over Chattanooga after feeling discomfort, but coach Tata Martino is optimistic about his availa...

Impact Almiron played 26 minutes off the bench before being withdrawn as a precaution, and the coach's relaxed assessment suggests this is nothing serious. The club will monitor his condition over the coming days before making a final call on his involvement Saturday, with Luke Brennan on standby to take on a larger role in the front line if Almiron needs any additional rest.

Four shots, no goal Almiron generated four shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Chicago Fire.

Impact Almiron is still goalless this season despite his four shots Saturday, as none of the four shots were on goal. That said, he is now up to 18 shots this season in seven games. His only goal contributions thus far come as assists.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots Saturday Almiron recorded three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Columbus Crew.

Impact Almiron took three shots in Saturday's loss, his third match this season with at least three shots. He also created one chance in his fifth consecutive outing. He added two tackles and one interception on the defensive end as he played the full 90 minutes for the fifth time this season.

Earns two assists Almiron assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Almiron would finally earn a goal contribution four games into the season, finding two assists after linking up with Aleksey Miranchuk in the 68th minute and Tomas Jacob in the 47th minute. He is already at half of his total from last season, with the club looking to rejuvenation after the rough 2025 campaign. He would also add five chances created and six crosses in the attack Saturday, appearing to be back in playmaking form.

Fires off two shots Almiron recorded three shots (two on goal) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to FC Cincinnati.

Impact Almiron would see a decent three shots Saturday but was unable to find the back of the net, with two of the shots being on target. The attacker will be looking for a better campaign than his last, only bagging 10 goal contributions. He will be keen on besting his 10 goals from last season, notching 13 with the club in 2018 before his move to England.
