Atletico Madrid striker, Julian Alvarez, was absent in training on Wednesday morning.
Marca reports that Alvarez was absent because he feels unwell.
The Argentina international was booed by Atletico fans last weekend as he continues to fight for a move to Barcelona.
The club’s hierarchy is determined not to sell Alvarez to their LaLiga rivals and would rather do business with Arsenal.
