Godin back for Atleti

Atletico Madrid have confirmed that Diego Godin is available for Sunday’s showdown with Barcelona in La Liga.

Godin had missed the last two weeks with a thigh injury that he picked up against Barca in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

Elsewhere for Diego Simeone’s side, Jan Oblak is expected to reclaim his No 1 jersey from Miguel Moya, who put in another unconvincing performance midweek.

Barcelona, meanwhile, remain without Arda Turan and Javier Mascherano, as well as long-term casualty Aleix Vidal.

Nonetheless, the Catalans are unbeaten in three meetings with Atleti this season and have lost to Los Colchoneros just once under Luis Enrique.

The match kicks off at 15:15 GMT/16:15 CET, and you can follow it with our liveblog!
