Julián Álvarez remains unwell and did not train for the second consecutive day

Atlético de Madrid's Argentine international forward, Julián Álvarez, has missed a second consecutive day of training due to persistent illness. Club sources confirmed that Álvarez is continuing to feel unwell and suffering from discomfort, casting doubt over his availability for the team's upcoming fixtures.

The striker's absence comes after he reportedly had a rough night following a morning session on Wednesday. This follows his return to competition last Sunday against Villarreal, a match where he was met with jeers from his own fans due to his reported desire to transfer to Barcelona. His current indisposition adds another layer of uncertainty to his immediate future with the club.

With only one training session remaining before Saturday's match against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, Álvarez is considered a serious doubt. Adding to coach Diego Simeone's selection concerns, forward Alexander Sørloth is also unavailable due to a muscular injury, limiting the team's attacking options.

Álvarez's situation highlights a period of uncertainty for the player and the club. His continued absence from training, coupled with the fan reaction during his recent appearance, suggests a complex situation that could impact Atlético de Madrid's performance in the crucial upcoming match.
