Grimaldo (quadriceps) has been cleared to play in Saturday's La Liga matchup against Alaves after recovering from a muscular injury sustained during the international break, according to Pedro Fullana of Cadena SER.
Analysis:Grimaldo has made encouraging progress in his recovery after initially being restricted to individual work following the quadriceps issue he suffered while representing Spain. The left-back resumed full team training earlier in the week, completing consecutive sessions without any reported setbacks before receiving clearance for Saturday's clash. He should now be in contention to reclaim his starting role on the left side of Atletico Madrid's defense, although David Hancko remains an alternative if the coaching staff opts to manage Grimaldo's workload.
