Marca: Alvarez is expected to play against Getafe, Oblak is still recovering in the gym

According to the Spanish media "Marca", although Alvarez missed training earlier this week due to a fever, he has now fully recovered and is preparing to lead Atletico Madrid to an away challenge against Getafe this Sunday. Oblak's ability to play still needs to be carefully arranged. He is still undergoing rehabilitation training in the gym to overcome the discomfort in his knee when he played for the Slovenian national team.

In fact, Alvarez's return to the team's lineup was the only good news in Friday's training, because Giuliano Simeone was forced to withdraw from training on Thursday due to hamstring discomfort, and Cardoso was unwell for the second consecutive day and was unable to train with the rest of the team.

In this regard, although Giuliano Simeone has not been completely excluded from the lineup, he will not appear in Simeone's starting lineup because there are only three days left before the game against Inter Milan, and Simeone does not intend to let him return hastily. This is similar to the situation with Oblak, where the player has played through injuries in the past, making him more likely to play. However, a final decision will not be made until game day, depending on how he recovers and how his body feels.

With this being the case, Musso is ready to replace Oblak. Simeone revealed his thoughts after a lengthy video analysis but also revealed some lingering doubts, particularly in midfield.

Although Simeone chose Marcos Llorente, Jimenez, Lenglet and Ruggeri to form the defense, and Serlot and Alvarez partnered in the striker, the experimental lineup in the midfield consisted of five players. Almada replaced Giuliano Simeone on the right, but the presence of four main players, Barrios, Koke, Baena and Nicolas Gonzalez, forced Simeone to give up one of them.
