Álvarez Resumes Training with Atlético Just Before Transfer Deadline

Following their victory over Sevilla at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, Atlético Madrid returned to training, with the big news being the presence of Julián Álvarez. The Argentine forward rejoined his teammates after two days of absence due to illness and another two days of individual training. There were even speculations that he was deliberately avoiding training.

"The Spider" hadn't trained with his colleagues since the match against Villarreal at the Metropolitano. These had been a few complicated days for him before he returned to the "normal" training process.

Julián resumed training on Friday, albeit individually. After following a personalized plan for the past two days, he was a full participant in Sunday's session. Just two days before the final closing of the transfer window and the end of his saga, the world champion returned to group training.

Atlético doesn't want to waste any more time and aims to begin the process of "reintegrating" their star, should he ultimately remain with the team. This was evident from Mateu Alemany's words before the clash at the Pizjuán: "We hope he quickly reintegrates and is available for the next La Liga match."

Thus, the Argentine joined the training session, during which the starters from the Sevilla match underwent recovery exercises. Atlético is now looking ahead to the upcoming match at San Mamés, with Julián part of the squad. Two days remain until the end of the transfer market, and it remains to be seen how his saga will conclude. Today, after two days of individual work, he trained with his teammates following his illness.

Julián Álvarez was one of the first players to arrive at Atlético Madrid's sports complex. During the training, he received support and encouraging gestures from two of his compatriots: Cuti Romero and Musso. The session, organized by Cholo Simeone after the triumph over Sevilla, did not include the starters, who trained in the gym, nor the Norwegian forward Sørloth.
