Active display against Houston Almada had three shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in six crosses (one accurate) and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Houston.
Impact Almada couldn't score as he did on the previous match but was still very active on the attacking end, always trying to create for teammates and being involved on the play that led to his team's first goal. After being left out of his national team's squad for this year's Copa America, the star forward, who has four goals and one assist over 15 appearances this season, will be a great reinforcement to this Atlanta team for the upcoming games.

Makes return off bench Saturday Almada (calf) registered two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Almada came off the bench and looked active, but his entrance in the second half was not enough to turn things around, not even when LAFC were reduced to 10 men following Eduardo Atuesta's red card. The positive thing is that Almada was active and looked healthy, so there's a strong chance he'll return to the XI when Atlanta takes on Inter Miami on Wednesday.

On bench Almada (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match versus LAFC.
Impact Almada was able to recover to his calf injury, however is not ready to play a full match yet. He had previously started the last eight games in a row, recording two goals with one assist while creating 22 chances and launching 53 crosses (16 won) in that span.

Questionable to face LAFC Almada (calf) is questionable to play Saturday against LAFC, Doug Roberson of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Almada missed the 1-1 draw against Nashville, and it wouldn't be shocking if he misses a second consecutive match while recovering from this muscular problem. Almada has three goals and one assist on the season, and his presence could be a difference-maker for an Atlanta team that will be missing Giorgos Giakoumakis (hamstring) as well.
