Atlético de Madridhas made public its official squad list for the match against Sevilla Fútbol Clubat the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The main new feature in the list put together by the coaching staff is the presence of Argentine defender Cristian 'Cuti' Romero.
The presence of the international center-back is a major defensive boost for the rojiblancos. Romero joins the traveling squad after overcoming his physical issues and is shaping up to be a key figure in defense.
By contrast, the big absentee from the squad is Julián Álvarez. The Argentine forward misses the match after a week marked by tensions with the Madrid club.
Diego Pablo Simeonehad already confirmed the forward's absence at his press conference. The Argentine coach said the decision was due to Álvarez missing group training sessions because of his refusal to train.
The Atlético dressing room now faces a demanding league fixture shaped by this off-field situation. The squad is already traveling to Andalusia focused solely on picking up three vital points.
