The reason Julián Álvarez missed training at Atlético Madrid | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is training with their focus on their upcoming LaLiga match against Getafe. The team of Diego Simeone, currently in fourth place (six points behind the leader Real Madrid), suffered some last-minute absences, one of which was Julián Álvarez.

The Spider, who couldn't travel to Angola with the Argentine National Team because he didn't get vaccinated against yellow fever in time, also missed the practice led by Cholo. The absence of the former River player was due to health issues.

According to Diario Marca, the Argentine forward was not in training due to a fever. However, it is expected that the player can rejoin on Thursday without major issues to be able to start the next weekend.

Álvarez had been enjoying a few days off thanks to the FIFA date. Now, he will look to overcome the indisposition to return to Simeone's orders, aiming to climb positions in LaLiga.

Atlético de Madrid also lacked their goalkeepers

Curiously, Atlético de Madrid also couldn't count on their two main goalkeepers in Wednesday's training. Both Jan Oblak and Juan Musso were absent for different reasons, adding another headache for Cholo in the session.

The Slovenian worked out in the gym, as he continues to have knee discomfort, which will likely prevent him from playing against Getafe on Sunday. The Argentine would be his replacement, although he was also absent for personal reasons with the club's permission.
