Atletico Madrid's Pablo Barrios: Available for Alaves clash

Rotowire• ·

Barrios (leg) is available for Saturday's La Liga clash against Alaves after recovering from a low-grade myofascial injury in his right leg, according to Pedro Fullana of Cadena SER.

Analysis:

Barrios has completed his recovery from the injury he suffered against Liverpool, having gradually increased his workload during the international break before returning to full team training. The midfielder participated in consecutive group sessions earlier in the week, and his availability provides a boost to Atletico Madrid's midfield options ahead of Saturday's matchup. Barrios should be in contention for a return to the starting XI, although his minutes could be managed initially given his recent absence.
