Simeone confirms Alvarez out for Sevilla amid health concerns

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone addressed the ongoing uncertainty surrounding forward Julian Alvarez on Friday, confirming the Argentine will miss the team's La Liga match against Sevilla after missing a third consecutive training session. The situation has intensified amid a transfer standoff, with the club firmly rejecting a move to Barcelona while Arsenal remains a potential suitor. Simeone, speaking at a pre-match press conference, emphasized his focus on the player's well-being over the transfer speculation. "I understand that all the questions will be about Julian, but the club was very clear about what's going to happen," Simeone said.
