Miguel Almiron
32-Year-Old
Atlanta United
MLS
Picked for bench
Almiron (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Columbus.
ANALYSIS
Almiron was back in training this week, and that has led to his return, with the attacker set for a bench role Sunday. He will look for a few minutes to test his legs, but is unlikely to be risked too much, as he is set to play in the World Cup with Paraguay in just a few weeks.
