Remains out
Alvarez (ankle) remains unavailable and will not feature in Sunday's clash against Girona, according to Pedro Fullana of Cadena SER.
Analysis: Alvarez has been sidelined since picking up an ankle issue during the Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal and the club is taking no risks with the Argentine striker heading into the final fixture of the domestic season. With the World Cup just weeks away, Atletico are prioritizing having him fully fit for the tournament rather than rushing him back for a low-stakes league finale, with Alexander Sorloth and Antoine Griezmann expected to continue leading the line against Valencia.
Misses training, ruled out Tuesday
Alvarez (ankle) did not train Monday and is ruled out for Tuesday's clash against Osasuna, according to Pedro Fullana of Cadena SER.
Analysis: Alvarez has been managing an ankle issue since being forced off during the Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal, and his absence from Monday's session is a further sign that the club is taking no risks with the Argentine striker heading into the final stretch of the season. With the World Cup looming in about a month, Atletico will take no risks with the health of the forward rather than pushing him back before he is genuinely ready. Alexander Sorloth is expected to continue leading the line against Osasuna.
