Mandzukic fit for Champions League

Mario Mandzukic is expected to be ready to play for Atletico Madrid against Olympiacos in the Champions League this week.

Mandzukic had to be replaced just before the hour mark of Atletico’s 3-1 win over Malaga due to a neck injury but he was in training on Sunday, the only player who started the day before to attend the session.

There were nine players who didn’t start against Malaga at the 90-minute drill, which Mundo Deportivo reports was mostly with the ball.

Mandzukic worked largely with the medical staff and it’s believed he’ll be able to feature against the Greeks.
