Banged-up Atleti: 'No doubt' Álvarez plays 2nd leg...

Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone expressed confidence that Julián Álvarez will be fit for the Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal, despite the forward limping off in the 77th minute of Wednesday's 1-1 first-leg draw. Álvarez had equalised from the penalty spot after Viktor Gyökeres opened the scoring, and has now scored 10 Champions League goals this season — becoming the first Atlético player to reach double figures in the competition. Atlético face additional injury concerns with winger Giuliano Simeone withdrawn at half-time and Alexander Sørloth unable to feature after feeling discomfort during the warm-up.
