Julián Álvarez returns as Atlético lets him train with the group

Julián Álvarez is back in the fold at Atlético Madrid. After the win over Sevilla at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, the club returned to training this Sunday and the main talking point was the Argentine forward’s reintegration with the rest of the squad, as MARCA had already reported.

Back with the group

The striker missed two days due to illness, spending those sessions working individually under a personalized plan. By Sunday he had returned to full group training, after initially coming back on Friday but still doing it alone, per the newspaper.

In the session after the Sevilla victory, the starters carried out recovery work in the gym with Giménez, and the Norwegian Sorloth remained out as he continues recovering from the injury that has kept him out of the early games. Meanwhile, Julián took part as the 9 with the squad at the training game involving the club’s Academy players, receiving praise from the coaching staff.

Atletico’s message is clear: they want him back quickly and, if he stays at the club, to start “getting him back” in the rhythm. As Mateu Alemany said ahead of the Sevilla match, “we expect him to reintegrate quickly and be available for the next LaLiga game,” according to MARCA.

With the transfer window closing in two days, Atlético is already focused on the next league test. The article also notes the atmosphere around Julián at the training ground, including friendly attention from fellow countrymen Cuti Romero and Musso, with Cuti keeping a close eye on the Argentine throughout the session.
