Atletico Madrid arrive in London with an injury boost ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League semi‑final second leg against Arsenal. The Spanish side listed Julian Alvarez, Guiliano Simeone and Alexander Sorloth among the travelling squad, suggesting all three are cleared to play. Alvarez and Simeone limped out of the 2-2 draw in Madrid and missed the weekend win over Valencia, but now appear fit for the fixture.

Arsenal secured a 2-2 stalemate at the Metropolitano in the first leg, leaving the tie finely balanced. A win in London would send the Gunners to their first final since 2006, while a draw would see Atletico advance on away goals. Both managers have hinted at tactical tweaks, and the added depth from the three returning players could tip the scales.

With the squad reinforced, Atletico will aim to exploit Arsenal’s defensive lapses that cost them a clean sheet in Madrid. A positive result could revive Diego Simeone’s campaign for European glory, while a defeat would end a season that saw the Spaniards finish third in La Liga. The outcome on Tuesday will decide which side progresses to the final.
