"Atletiko" head coach Diego Simeone provided information on the condition of Xulian Alvares, who was injured in the Champions League semi-final match against "Arsenal". The Argentine striker was forced to leave the field at the end of the first leg in Madrid, which ended in a 1:1 draw. Goal.com reports this.
Alvares suffered an ankle injury in a collision with "Arsenal" midfielder Eberechi Eze with 13 minutes left in the game. However, Simeone emphasized at the post-match press conference that the situation is not serious.
According to the coach, Alvares, as well as Jiliano Simeone and Aleksandr Sorlot, who also sustained minor injuries, will participate in the return leg in London on Tuesday. "I have no doubt that they will all take the field on Tuesday," Simeone said.
"Atletiko" will face "Valensiya" in the Spanish championship before the return leg. Changes in the lineup are expected in this match in order to protect key players.
