Atletico Madrid handed injury boost against Arsenal ahead of UCL Tuesday night.
Atletico Madrid have been handed a vital injury boost ahead of their trip to face Arsenal in the Champions League.
The Spanish giants are back in England this week to take on the Gunners, a litle over a month since losing at Liverpool in their first League Phase game.
Atleti have since recovered in style by beating Eintract Frankfurt 5-1, and will be keen to maintain that momentum into their toughest test of the autumn and winter.
And Diego Simeone has been buoyed by the inclusion of Nico Gonzalez in their travelling squad, having shaken off an injury scare suffered over the weekend.
Left wing-back Gonzalez was forced off with a head injury during the first half of Saturday’s 1-0 win over Osasuna to throw his involvement at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday into doubt.
But the 27-year-old has been named as part of the travelling party departing Spain for London today. It remains to be seen if the defender will take to the field – with Simone set to issue an update at his pre-match press conference on Monday evening.
