Suffers muscular injury Almada suffered a muscular injury in his right leg and will be out for the time being, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Almada suffered the injury while on international duty with Argentina during the final round of the World Cup Qualifiers, and he's expected to be sidelined for a few weeks at a bare minimum. The progress in his rehab will determine when he'll be ready to return to action, but this is another blow for an Atletico side that has struggled on offense in 2025/26 since they're also missing another key signing, Alex Baena (strain), due to fitness issues.

Subbed off on Saturday Almada recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Almada played a pivotal role without directly getting on the scoresheet. His shot in the seventh minute was parried into Giuliano Simeone's path, leading to the goal. Almada also made three tackles, one interception and one block. He has created four chances in the opening three games, but has not yet assisted.

Sends eight crosses in draw Almada recorded eight crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Elche.

Impact Almada hasn't needed an adjustment period to make an impact in LaLiga, but the Argentina international has yet to translate his solid play into fantasy value. As a regular starter and a consistent playmaker, though, Almada should have a relatively high floor in most matches while being expected to rack up either goals or assists sooner rather than later.
