According to a report from AS, Alvarez is ready for the Madrid derby but is not expected to start.
Alvarez is reportedly ready to return in the match against Real Madrid. He suffered a minor muscle strain in Atletico Madrid's Champions League match against Liverpool, which caused him to miss matches against Real Sociedad and Osasuna.
Atletico Madrid is confident in his recovery, and barring any setbacks, he should be available to play for Simeone in the Madrid derby. He may not start, but should get some playing time.
Yesterday morning, he underwent high-intensity training with Atletico Madrid's physiotherapist Zainos. The session included sprints, jogging, and high-intensity pace changes.
As Simeone emphasized before the season started, the team is still finding its rhythm, and the team's style is still being developed. Due to the World Cup, the club brought in five new players, and squad rotation has been necessary.
Therefore, even for Alvarez, securing a starting position is not guaranteed. Although Sørloth remains unavailable, he is recovering well from what the club described as a "calf strain."
Jonathan David made his debut and has established himself as the number 9 Simeone needs. He runs like a number 9, positions himself like a number 9, and scores like a number 9. He has become a strong contender for the position.
