Julian Alvarez, the forward for Atletico Madrid, will not participate in the upcoming La Liga match against Sevilla due to health concerns, marking his third consecutive missed training session. Diego Simeone, the Atletico manager, emphasized his commitment to ensuring that Alvarez feels valued upon his return to training.

Simeone stated, "From the moment he returns to training, I will do everything I can to make him feel important." This comes as the club has firmly rejected any transfer to Barcelona, which appears to leave a move to Arsenal as Alvarez's only potential exit.

In light of the situation, Simeone expressed hope for a turnaround, saying, "As long as you have your health, everything in life can be turned around." He acknowledged the media's focus on Alvarez, but reiterated that the club had been clear about their stance.

The absence of Alvarez will be felt, especially with Norwegian striker Alexander Sorloth also sidelined. Simeone remarked, "Sorloth's absence hurts us. He's very important for us. In this situation with Julian, it has much more impact."

Despite the challenges, Simeone remains optimistic about the team's collective ability to overcome these setbacks, stating that the squad has been performing well in recent matches against Malaga and Villarreal. He assured that the players are focused and ready for the challenge against a confident Sevilla side.
