📸 Back at work! Julián Álvarez is training with Atleti again | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid completed their squad this Monday, August 10. The internationals who reached the World Cup final in New York returned to the red-and-white camp after several days off.

Marcos Llorente, Álex Baena, Juan Musso, and Julián Álvarez went to the High-Performance Sports Medicine Center at Vithas Madrid Arturo Soria University Hospital. There, they underwent the usual medical examination before rejoining training.

However, Julián Álvarez’s return is not just another routine comeback. The Argentine striker arrives in the capital under intense media scrutiny due to FC Barcelona’s persistent interest in signing him during this transfer window.

Despite Atlético’s firm refusal to negotiate with a direct rival, rumors about the forward’s desire to wear the Blaugrana shirt have kept both sets of fans on edge. His presence under Diego Simeone will be key in determining his future.

For now, the four players will follow a specific work plan tailored by the fitness coaches. The coaching staff will gradually manage their training loads in the coming sessions to ensure they reach full fitness without risking injury.
