The reason Julián Álvarez missed training at Atlético Madrid | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is training with its sights set on its next LaLiga match against Getafe. The team led by Diego Simeone, currently in fourth place (six points behind leaders Real Madrid), suffered some last-minute absences, one of which was Julián Álvarez.

La Araña, who was unable to travel to Angola with the Argentina National Team because he did not get vaccinated against yellow fever in time, was also absent from the training session led by Cholo. The former River player’s absence was due to health reasons.

According to Diario Marca, the Argentine striker missed training due to a fever. However, it is expected that the player will be able to rejoin the squad on Thursday without major issues and be available to start next weekend.

Álvarez had just enjoyed a few days of rest thanks to the FIFA break. Now, he will look to put his illness behind him and return to Simeone’s orders, aiming to climb up the LaLiga standings.

Atlético de Madrid also without its goalkeepers

Curiously, Atlético de Madrid was also unable to count on its two main goalkeepers in Wednesday’s training session. Both Jan Oblak and Juan Musso were absent for different reasons, giving Cholo another headache during the session.

The Slovenian worked out in the gym, as he continues to experience discomfort in his knee, which will likely keep him out against Getafe on Sunday. The Argentine would be his replacement, but he was also absent for personal reasons with the club’s authorization.
