Working towards full fitness
Almada is managing a muscular overload resulting from an accumulation of matches, with the Argentina coaching staff monitoring his condition as he works toward full fitness for the World Cup, according to TYC Sports.
Analysis: Almada had already missed Atletico's season finale with muscular discomfort, ending his first season at the club with three goals and one assist across 27 appearances (16 starts). The nature of the issue as fatigue-related rather than a structural problem is encouraging, and the coaching staff will manage his workload carefully over the coming days to ensure he is fully available for the tournament when Argentina's campaign gets underway against Algeria on June 16.
Out for finale
Almada is out for Sunday's match against Villarreal due to muscular discomfort, according to his club.
Analysis: Almada is not with his team for the season finale, as the attacker instead missed out due to some discomfort. This will end his season a bit early, but it should be nothing to worry about heading into the summer. He then ended his first season with the club, recording three goals and one assist in 27 appearances (16 starts).
