However, the Argentine has not yet trained alongside the rest of the international squad. Instead, Álvarez completed an individual session with Atlético’s fitness coach, Luis Piñedo, divided between the pitch and the gym as part of a phased integration plan.
Upon his arrival and throughout his time at Cerro del Espino, the forward appeared solemn. His return follows physical examinations and stress tests completed at the High Performance Sports Medicine Center at Vithas Madrid Arturo Soria University Hospital.
Álvarez’s return was eagerly anticipated by Atlético Madrid following a summer dominated by speculation regarding his future. Comments he made during the World Cup, in which he refused to rule out pursuing one of his major ambitions, fueled departure rumors, with Barcelona closely monitoring his situation. Now, the Argentine striker is back in Madrid. — (dpa)
