Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata a doubt for Alaves clash due to illness

Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is doubtful for Sunday's game against Alaves due to illness, according to the club. The striker did not train in the morning session on Saturday, although he is not ruled out for the match. The player is awaiting further developments in the coming hours.

The striker was one of the 3 absentees from the last training session at the 'Colchoneros' training complex in the Madrid town of Majadahonda. The other two were Memphis Depay, who is still recovering from the muscle injury that has kept him out of the last three games, and Thomas Lemar, who is continuing his recovery from the rupture of his right Achilles tendon, which has kept him out of competition since September.

Marcos Llorente will also be out for Sunday's game, but in his case he will be suspended for completing his five-match yellow card suspension.

The rest of the squad is at Simeone' s disposal to put together the squad for this Sunday's La Liga clash.
