Thiago Almada Injury: Suffers muscular injury

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

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.
