Julian Alvarez returned to Atletico Madrid training on Sunday after missing three sessions because of physical discomfort, according to Cadena SER reporter Pedro Fullana.
The Argentina forward was back with the squad following Atletico Madrid’s away win against Sevilla. Alvarez had been absent in recent days amid concerns over an injury, but his return to training provides an update on his condition as the club considers its next fixture.
Alvarez’s future is also reportedly expected to be decided on Sunday. Atletico Madrid are said to have set that day as a deadline for the player, who is facing a choice between joining Arsenal or staying with the Spanish club.
The reports do not indicate whether Alvarez’s return to training has settled the uncertainty surrounding his position. However, his participation on Sunday came after he had missed three successive sessions because of the physical issue.
The forward’s most recent appearance came in Atletico Madrid’s La Liga match before the latest developments. He played 24 minutes after coming on as a substitute.
His return will therefore be closely followed in the context of both his fitness and his future. Before Sunday’s session, the club had been managing concerns over his physical condition, while reports continued to link him with a possible transfer to Arsenal.
Atletico Madrid’s away victory over Sevilla provided the immediate backdrop to Alvarez’s return. The player had not trained during the previous three sessions, but was reported to have rejoined the group on Sunday.
Cadena SER’s Pedro Fullana was the source of the report confirming the Argentina forward’s return. The update comes at a potentially significant point for Alvarez, with the reported deadline over his future falling on the same day.
For now, the key development is that Alvarez has resumed training after his period of absence. The remaining question is whether he will continue his career at Atletico Madrid or move to Arsenal, with the reports presenting those as the two options being considered.
