Diego Pablo Simeone spoke ahead of Sevilla-Atlético Madrid and was asked about Julián Álvarez.
"I'm still in the same position. I hope I can help him so he can continue being the hugely important player he is for us. I'm focused on what concerns me, which is Sevilla. Obviously, Julián won't be there tomorrow."
"The absence of Alex [Sorloth] hurts us; he is hugely important for us. And what is happening to us with Julián affects us even more, you can see it in the team. The team is trying, collectively, to look for solutions to find situations that allow us to win matches and create scoring solutions."
"I don't see that situation. We are focused on having a good match tomorrow. The Club World Cup players are already here, and they already played good minutes against Málaga and Villarreal."
