According to a report from AS, Álvarez is ready to participate in the Madrid derby but is not expected to start.

Álvarez is reportedly set to return against Real Madrid after missing matches against Real Sociedad and Osasuna due to a minor muscle strain suffered in Atlético Madrid's Champions League clash with Liverpool.

Atlético Madrid is confident in his recovery, and barring any setbacks, he will be available for Simeone in the Madrid derby. He may not start, but he should get some playing time.

Yesterday morning, he completed an intensive training session under the supervision of Zainos, Atlético Madrid's physical therapist. The team's session included sprints, running drills, and high-intensity pace changes.

As Simeone emphasized before the season began, the team is still gelling and their style of play is still being developed. Due to the World Cup's impact, the club brought in five new players, and the players' recovery schedules have been uneven.

Therefore, even for Álvarez, securing a starting position is not straightforward. While Sørloth is still unavailable, he is recovering well from what the club described as a calf strain.

Jonathan David has made his debut and established himself as the number 9 striker Simeone needs. He runs like a number 9, positions himself like a number 9, and scores like a number 9. He has become a formidable competitor for the number 9 position.
