Atlético train for Getafe clash without Julián or any goalkeepers | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid continues to prepare for the match against Getafe this Sunday the 23rd at 18:30 at the Coliseum. Today, the team trained with some unexpected absences of key players for Diego Pablo Simeone, although, in principle, these are not expected to affect the match against the Blues in this new LaLiga round.

Without Julián… and without goalkeepers

The absence of Julián Álvarez and the lack of first-team goalkeepers were the main highlights of this morning’s session. The Argentine is suffering from an illness due to a fever, while Jan Oblak worked out in the gym as he tries to overcome knee discomfort that also forced him to return early to Madrid during the break. Even so, there is some optimism regarding the Slovenian’s recovery, and he could even be fit to play in Sunday’s match. Additionally, Juan Musso had permission from the Club for personal reasons, and Salvi Esquivel, the usual third-choice goalkeeper, has not yet returned from the U-21 training camp. In their place, Mario de Luis, Álvaro Moreno, and Dani Rubio, goalkeepers from Atlético Madrileño, Atlético C, and Juvenil A, respectively, took part in the session.

On the other hand, Alexander Sørloth has already rejoined the group after training separately yesterday, and with the return of Dávid Hancko, who did a gym session today, only José María Giménez, Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios, and Álex Baena are yet to return from their respective international duties with Uruguay and the Spanish national team. For this reason, there is also good news for the squad led by Cholo, who has already started to envision a possible starting eleven that could feature Antoine Griezmann up front alongside… Julián Álvarez?
