Nahuel Molina
28-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Molina offers positional versatility since he can play both as a full-back and a wide midfielder depending Diego Simeone's tactical approach. He's better suited to play as a wing-back on the right side, though, where he can offer value on both sides of the ball. Molina logged 17 starts out of 30 appearances in the 2024/25 season, delivering three assists and 55 crosses. While Marcos Llorente can also start on the right side, Molina should still see plenty of pitch time as the younger option. Molina's upside is limited while splitting minutes, but if he can establish himself in the starting XI more often, that would lead to better numbers.
Training Saturday
Molina (hamstring) is back in full training Saturday, Gaston Edul reports.
ANALYSIS
Reports earlier in the week indicated Molina will be fit and available for the World Cup opener against Algeria and all signs point towards that remaining the case. The defender should be back fully available, but there's no guarantee he's rushed back in a match that Argentina would expect to control throughout.
