Atletico Madrid will be without ahead of Julian Alvarez for the UEFA Champions League collision on Wednesday in Liverpool, while he continues to recover from the inconvenience that was forced to him during their last La Liga match against Villarreal, the club said on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Argentinian World Cup winner, who has one goal this season in four games, was replaced for the second half of Atletico’s 2-0 home wins on Villarreal on Saturday.
Thiago Almada, Jose Maria Gimenez, Alex Baena and Johnny Cardoso (ankle rejecting) were also not suitable for traveling as part of Diego Simeone’s 22-man team for the game in Anfield.
