The reason for Julián Álvarez's substitution against Real Betis

Atlético de Madrid

The big news at Atlético de Madrid is the absence of Julián Álvarez from the starting eleven. The Argentine had trained as a starter in the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions, but an illness with vomiting in the hours leading up to the match has kept him out of the lineup. At the same time, Lookman's debut is coming.

Without an official medical report from the club, the forward does appear among the substitutes. His participation is subject to how he evolves during the match.

Changes in the attack

Although Julián Álvarez seemed set to start after his work during the week, an illness with vomiting has left him out of the starting lineup. Lookman's debut gains spotlight, but the most relevant warning in terms of attacking is the condition of the Argentine.

With the club not disclosing a medical report, the forward is listed among the substitutes. In this scenario, Atlético de Madrid maintains its structure with an eye on the bench, where Álvarez remains waiting for his sensations.

Furthermore, Lookman's debut emerges as an immediate alternative in the red and white offensive front.

The "colchoneros" have not provided further details on the Argentine's condition, who remains available if his evolution allows it. Thus, the coach retains an impacting option for the development of the match, with the forward in reserve depending on his physical condition during the course of the game.
