Fully fit in preseason
Cardoso (ankle) is fully fit and training fully with the team without any issues, the club posted.
Analysis: Cardoso underwent ankle surgery after suffering a high grade sprain in training, an injury that also cost him a spot at the World Cup with the United States. He made 12 starts in 15 appearances last season before the setback, and his full return to team training is an encouraging sign as he looks to regain a regular role in Atletico Madrid's midfield heading into the new 2026/27 La Liga season.
