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 led by Diego Simeone, currently in fourth place (six points behind the leader Real Madrid), faced some last-minute absences, one of which was Julián Álvarez.

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

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

Álvarez had a few days of rest thanks to the FIFA date. Now, he will look to overcome his 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 during 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 due to personal reasons with the club's permission.
