Alex Baena Injury: Back available Wednesday

Baena (strain) is back available for Wednesday's clash against Rayo Vallecano, coach Diego Simeone said in the press conference.

Baena has recovered from his muscle injury and appendicitis surgery and is back available for Wednesday's clash against Rayo Vallecano. The midfielder is expected to hold a decent role for the Colchoneros this season, although he will likely be eased back into action in upcoming fixtures to avoid any setbacks. Until he returns to full fitness, Nicolas Gonzalez is expected to see increased playing time.
