Julián Alvarez a doubt for Real Sociedad trip after training setback | OneFootball

Atlético suffered another blow as Julián Alvarez felt a physical problem, leaving his chances of playing at Real Sociedad very doubtful. It followed earlier news of Barrios’s injury.

Mundo Deportivo reports he left training before the end, and medical tests will determine the extent.

The Argentine had returned to the starting XI at Anfield and completed 90 minutes, his first full match for Atlético since the Copa final in April.

His condition is still short of peak, and he stopped while the team were in the middle of a drill. The coaching staff had planned for him to start again at Anoeta.

Next week matters for Julián, with a reunion with the Metropolitano after those minutes in Atlético-Villarreal. Within four days come matches against Osasuna and Real Madrid.

It is a setback for Atlético, already without Sorloth for a month and light in attack.
