Impact Alvarez is going to return to play Tuesday as Argentina takes the field for the World Cup opener, cleared of any injury worries in his ankle. This will give the team yet another one of their best attackers, adding to an already frightful group. However, the main question is a question Argentina seemingly has to answer every World Cup, as it is unknown who will start at forward, with the battle between Lautaro Martinez and Alvarez.

Impact Alvarez is aiming to be fit enough to start in the World Cup group stage, and in that case he'll be expected to have an edge over Lautaro Martinez in the race for the center-forward spot. After returning to training and receiving plasma treatment to accelerate his rehabilitation over the last few days, the Atletico Madrid player is now one of his country's main goal-scoring threats ahead of the international tournament. He previously enjoyed a productive club campaign, notching 18 goals and eight assists over 44 matches played considering La Liga and European action.

Impact Alvarez had been confirmed in full training earlier in the week after completing his recovery from an ankle sprain, and the plasma treatment is designed to accelerate the final stages of his rehabilitation rather than address any serious ongoing concern. The striker ended a superb club campaign with 18 goals and eight assists across 44 appearances for Atletico and will be expected to carry a significant portion of Argentina's attacking threat alongside Lautaro Martinez when the tournament gets underway.

Nearing return Alvarez (ankle) completed his recovery from a sprain and was involved in full training with the Argentinian World Cup squad Tuesday, according to Gustavo Yarroch of Radio La Red.

Impact Alvarez has reportedly left his injury behind, and it's now a matter of him regaining match fitness to be an option for the defending world champions. The striker is coming off a superb campaign in which he scored 18 goals and provided eight assists across 44 La Liga or UCL appearances. Thus, he'll be expected to carry a major portion of Argentina's scoring hopes while contending with Lautaro Martinez for minutes in the center-forward position.

Won't play in finale Alvarez (ankle) won't play in the season finale against Villarreal on Sunday, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Alvarez has been relieved of his duties ahead of the final match of the season, with the aim of being as healthy as possible for the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Alvarez ends the 2025/26 season with eight goals and four assists in 29 appearances (22 starts) in LaLiga. The striker's goal will be to be healthy for Argentina's World Cup opener against Algeria on June 16.

Remains out Alvarez (ankle) remains unavailable and will not feature in Sunday's clash against Girona, according to Pedro Fullana of Cadena SER.

Impact 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, unlikely Tuesday Alvarez (ankle) did not train Monday and is unlikely to be available for Tuesday's clash against Osasuna, according to Pascual Ruiz Arnal of Marca.

Impact 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.

Impact Alvarez had played 66 minutes at the Emirates with the aid of an infiltration before the ankle gave way, and the toll of that effort has ruled him out of the immediate fixtures. With the World Cup looming in just over a month, Atletico will be in no rush to push the Argentine striker back before he is fully right, making Alexander Sorloth the likely option to lead the line against the Celeste while Alvarez works through his recovery.

Impact Alvarez had done everything possible to feature in such a crucial European night, working with the club's recovery staff right up until kickoff and receiving treatment until the last possible moment before the match. The Argentine striker was characteristically committed throughout his time on the pitch, pressing hard defensively and showing good movement in attack, before a crossing action past the hour mark caused the ankle to flare up beyond the point he could continue. Alvarez began limping immediately and attempted to play through the discomfort before ultimately signaling to the bench that he could not carry on, leaving Atletico without their most important attacking weapon for the remaining minutes of a defining European night. Alexander Sorloth could see more playing time during upcoming fixtures as the club will unlikely rush the Argentine forward now with the World Cup looming in around one month.

Starting as expected Alvarez (ankle) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Alvarez is no longer injured as expected, as the forward is instantly inserted into the starting XI. He plays a key part in the attack, so this is a major return for the club. After scoring last match and with his duties on free kicks and penalties, Alvarez is usually the best bet for a goal in this Atleti side.

Travels with squad Alvarez (ankle) is travelling with Atletico's squad for Tuesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal, the club posted.

Impact Alvarez had been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Valencia to protect his ankle after picking up the issue during the first leg, but his inclusion in the travelling squad is a significant boost for coach Diego Simeone heading into one of the biggest nights of the season. The Argentine striker is Atletico's most important attacking weapon in European competition this campaign with 10 Champions League goals, and having him available for the return leg at the Emirates is exactly the news the Colchoneros needed heading into what promises to be a defining clash in their pursuit of a Champions League final berth.

Impact Alvarez had scored from the penalty spot before going off in the 77th minute against Arsenal, and the club is now focused on having him available for next Tuesday's return leg rather than risking him in the league. Thiago Almada is expected to start against Valencia as coach Simeone rotates his squad with the bigger European picture in mind. Alvarez will hope to be fit for the return leg as Atletico's most important player in the competition, having netted 10 Champions League goals this campaign.
