Atletico Madrid Injuries mean Moreira could become coach's sixth shot-stopper

Atletico Madrid are looking to bring Andre Campos Moreira back from his loan spell at Portuguese team Os Belenenses to provide cover for the injury to Miguel Ángel Moya, which would make the 20-year-old the sixth goalkeeper in the five years of the Diego Simeone era.

When the Argentine arrived at the club, the gloves were being fought for by Thibaut Courtois and Sergio Asenjo and the young duo remained in place until the end of the 2012/13 season.

Asenjo then moved to Villarreal in search of more playing time, given how well his Belgian colleague had been playing, and the veteran Daniel Aranzubia came in to back up Courtois in the league-winning season of 2013/14.

The most drastic change between the posts came in the summer of 2014, when Chelsea recalled Courtois from his loan at the Vicente Calderon at the same time as Aranzubia followed him out the door.

That was when Los Colchoneros signed Jan Oblak and Moya to fight for the number one spot, with the former making the position his own.

Simeone's plan was to head into the 2016/17 campaign with the same goalkeeping duo, but a knee injury will rule Moya out for around two months and Moreira could be the solution - and Simeone's sixth Atleti shot-stopper.

The fact that Belenenses kept him on the bench in their match last weekend may be a sign that a deal for his early return is close to being finalised, but the club continues to consider alternatives in case an agreement with the Portuguese side cannot be reached.
