Julian Alvarez trained with Manchester City on Friday ahead of their Premier League game with Everton after returning earlier than expected from Argentina.
Alvarez had been given time off to celebrate after his role in their World Cup victory in Qatar less than a fortnight ago. The young forward was set to return in the New Year, with Pep Guardiola giving that timescale in his pre-match press conference.
However, Alvarez then trained with the group later that afternoon after returning to Manchester earlier than planned. That will boost Guardiola's plans for the matches against Chelsea next week, and Alvarez could even be included for the Everton match on Saturday.
