Simeone expects Alvarez in the Atletico squad for the match against Atlético

Atletico boss Diego Simeone expects Julián Alvarez to feature in tomorrow's La Liga match against Atletico. The Argentinian striker recently returned to team training after missing several sessions due to illness. In the summer, Atletico rejected Barcelona's offer to transfer the forward. Simeone noted that Alvarez is in good shape and continues to work hard in training. "He is training very well. He will be called up to the national team, and we expect the best results from him and all his teammates," the coach said. The coach of Atlético also does not believe that the situation around the football player should affect his performances. "I always look ahead. We have a great season ahead of us, full of challenges. We will go to every match and do our best," said Simeone. Speaking about the opportunity to change the situation, the Argentine urged his compatriot to focus on the future. "I understand very clearly: for me, life is full of opportunities. And Julian now has the opportunity to fix everything. We often spend too much time on evaluations, and we should judge less and learn more. I hope it was a useful experience for him. And that he is happy, and as I told him yesterday in a great video for Futre, that happens when he scores goals," Simeone concluded. In the new season, Alvarez first appeared on the field on August 23. The Argentinian came on as a substitute after half-time in the La Liga second round home match against Villarreal, which ended in a 2-2 draw. The return of the forward was not without an unpleasant episode. Atletico fans booed Alvarez during the match, showing their displeasure with the situation around the player.
