Atle Madrid finally achieved its first victory of the season after defeating Villarreal, but this victory was accompanied by considerable setbacks. Affected by this, two main players under Diego Simeone may miss the match against Liverpool - this match is Atletico Madrid's first match in the 2025-26 Champions League group stage.

Atletico Madrid will face Liverpool in the Champions League, but before the game, the team must first confirm whether it can enable the leading striker Alvarez and key defender David Hanzko. Both players were injured in the Madrid Metropolitan Stadium defeat of Villarreal.

Alvarez had a discomfort in his knee, and the injury occurred in the first half against Villarreal, which also led to Simeone's replacement at the end of the half. As for Hanzko, he was forced to leave the court with an ankle sprain just a few minutes after he came on as a substitute in the final second half of the game.

In the next 24 hours, Atletico Madrid will confirm whether the two players can go to Liverpool with the team to participate in the first game of the Champions League this season. The "Bedsheet Legion" desperately hopes that the two will play as this will significantly increase the team's chances of achieving ideal results at Anfield Stadium.

Atlanta Madrid received good news for injuries

In addition to Alvarez and David Hanzko, Robin Lenorman and Nicholas Gonzalez were injured in the game against Villarreal, both of whom took the initiative to be replaced. However, the club's official opinion that both players can participate in the match against Liverpool is undoubtedly a very positive news.

At present, Atletico Madrid still needs to wait for further updates on Alvarez and Hanzko's injuries. But if one of the two is unable to go with the team, it will join the injury list of Alex Baenna, Thiago Almada and Jose Mariah Jimenez - these three players have been confirmed to miss the first round of the Champions League match against Liverpool.
