Julián Alvarez faces fitness uncertainty at Atlético Madrid ahead of Real Sociedad match

Atlético Madrid forward Julián Alvarez left the team's latest training session early due to physical issues. The 24-year-old Argentine now faces potential unavailability for Sunday's upcoming match against Real Sociedad at Anoeta. This setback follows his first start of the season during the recent Champions League fixture against Liverpool. Manager Diego Simeone is already dealing with absences as Sorloth and Barrios are also currently sidelined with injuries. The club has not provided a formal recovery timeline for Alvarez, leaving his status for the trip to San Sebastian in doubt. Training ground assessments will determine whether he can feature as the team continues its preparations for the La Liga encounter.
