🔙 Jan Oblak and Johnny Cardoso back with the group at Atleti | OneFootball

Very good news for Atlético de Madrid ahead of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against FC Barcelona.

In Sunday’s training session, following yesterday’s defeat in Seville, Diego Pablo Simeone received very encouraging news in the form of the return of key players for the team.

The most notable of them is Johnny Cardoso. As journalist Antonio Ruiz reported on COPE, the midfielder is already training with the group at full intensity.

The American midfielder is not the only one returning. Jan Oblak is also ready for Tuesday’s quarter-final second leg. After the discomfort that has kept him sidelined for more than a month, the Slovenian goalkeeper could be fit for the match at the Metropolitano.

Barrios, Giménez and Hancko are still recovering

Atlético’s medical room still has several players being handled with care. Pablo Barrios, Jose María Giménez and David Hancko are still recovering from their respective injuries and are waiting for the chance to return to action with Atleti.

The Colchoneros face a very intense week. First on Tuesday, with the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Barcelona at the Metropolitano. Then on Saturday, with the Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad in Seville.
