Grimaldo (quadriceps) was spotted working with the recovery coach on grass Tuesday and will be in the squad for Saturday's match at Alaves if there are no setbacks, according to Atletico MD.
Analysis:Grimaldo suffered a muscular overload on international duty with Spain, and moving from the gym to the pitch is a clear step toward full availability. He has yet to return to full team training, so his status will depend on how he responds in the coming days. David Hancko could cover at left back if he is not ready, even though it is not his natural position.
