Thiago Almada News: Available in friendly

Almada (leg) is in the starting lineup for Friday's friendly match against Inter Milan.

Almada is back in a match for Atletico Madrid after missing the previous seven competitive matches due to a leg injury. The playmaker should return to his regular starting role when Atletico Madrid takes on Osasuna on Oct. 18 after the international break, assuming he won't suffer any setbacks after this friendly match.
