Injury Leg
Est. Return 9/27/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Almada had a disappointing spell in Lyon during his last time in Europe, moving to Botafogo before Atleti decided to bring him back into a top league. The attacking midfielder should take an immediate role in the starting XI and has immense upside in a strong attacking unit. with Lyon he scored once and added four assists in under 1,000 minutes, but his real upside is from his MVP-level play in MLS. Almada will be linking up with one of the best attacks in the league, including clinical finishers like Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth, which should help his numbers as a prolific chance creator. Double-digit goal contributions will be the expectation for Almada, and if he integrates into the squad quickly it's possible he comes away with more than that.
Suffers muscular injury
Almada suffered a muscular injury in his right leg and will be out for the time being, the club announced Thursday.
ANALYSIS
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.
