Good news for Julián Álvarez!

Atlético de Madrid

The return took place in Majadahonda, where the coaching staff put together a session for the reserves, for the players who did not take part in the Pizjuán , and for several academy players. The player went out onto the pitch alongside Musso and Cuti Romero, who was very close to him throughout the training.

Alvarez had not taken part in the group work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday due to an illness. Even so, on Friday afternoon he did carry out an individual session with a fitness coach at the rojiblanco facilities, ahead of the match against Sevilla.

Normality on his return to work

The session included physical exercises, rondos and a small-sided game under the watch of Alemany and Simeone. The Argentine coach closely followed the actions of his players and also encouraged Julián Alvarez when he got involved successfully with the ball: “Good, Julián!”.

Before the Sevilla-Atlético match, Alemany had already explained the club's roadmap to the player. “The plan is crystal clear. Julián had a few days when he did not feel well. Yesterday he trained and we hope he reintegrates quickly and is available for the next league match. I've been talking to him and everything is normal”, he said.

The Atlético side is trying to bring calm around the Argentine after a week marked by his absence and by doubts about his future. The transfer window closes on Tuesday at the 23:59, and at the club public calm coexists with the noise that comes with a situation that is still open.
