Atletico Madrid received a massive
boost ahead of their Champions League
last 16, first leg at Bayer Leverkusen on
Tuesday as goalkeeper Jan Oblak was
included in Diego Simeone’s squad for
the trip to Germany.
The Slovenian international, who kept
eight clean sheets in 13 Champions
League games as Atletico reached the
final last season, has been sidelined
since December after having surgery on
a dislocated shoulder.
“Oblak has received the medical all
clear at the end of Sunday morning’s
training session,” Atletico said in a
statement.
“The Slovenian has been able to fully
train with the rest of the group since
Wednesday.”
Oblak’s return is a timely boost with
Atletico’s defence depleted by injuries
to centre-back Diego Godin and right-
back Juanfran.
