Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has confirmed Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak is available for selection for Sunday’s derby against Real Madrid.
Oblak missed Atletico Madrid’s 4-1 win over Celta Vigo in La Liga and Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Ahead of Sunday’s La Liga clash against Real Madrid, Simeone confirmed the Slovenian was ready to play, and said his team are capable of upsetting their rivals, who have won all eight game across all competitions.
“I always think in the big games and derbies it is important how you arrive, but the moment that you start the game, it’s a new story,” Simeone added.
“Everything is all very well until the referee blows the whistle, then it’s a new film and we don’t know the ending. That’s why this game is so fun.”
