What happened. Julian Alvarez will be in Atletico Madrid's squad for the La Liga match at Athletic Club after being reintegrated into training, following his failed attempt to leave the club.

Alvarez missed two days of training last week, citing illness.
Atletico refused to sell him to Barcelona but held talks with Arsenal.
Manager Diego Simeone called the episode a 'learning experience'.

“Julian Alvarez will be in the squad tomorrow. He's training well, and we expect the best from him.”
— Diego Simeone

Alvarez now has a chance to prove himself again at Atletico, with Simeone hoping he shows his value by scoring goals.
