LaLiga Set for comeback after muscle problem

Following their Champions League exit, Atletico Madrid have received a boost to morale as defender Juanfran appears set for his comeback from injury.

After taking Wednesday off to recover from Tuesday night's European tie in London, the Rojiblancos returned to training on Thursday morning.

Juanfran did take part in that session, participating fully with the rest of his teammates, and is in line to return on Sunday against Real Betis.

However, Antoine Griezmann worked out alone in the gym as he nursed an injury to his right thigh which he sustained against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Augusto did join Juanfran in returning as he too shrugged off recent fitness problems and his condition is progressing well.

Thursday's training was taken by Diego Simeone, with those who played against the Blues taking part in a recovery session and the rest working on shooting drills before concluding with a small-sided game.
