Cholo to recall Moreira

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has decided to recall goalkeeper Andre Moreira from his loan spell with Belenenses.

The 20-year-old was farmed out on loan to the Portuguese outfit for next season but injury to Atleti reserve ´keeper Miguel Moya means Simeone has been left without back-up for first choice Jan Oblak.

El Cholo has been left short of options with the new La Liga campaign just days away, and Atleti hope to have an agreement in place for their opening fixture on Sunday at home to newly-promoted Alaves.

Moreira has been with Los Colchoneros since August 2014 but is yet to make his full debut, having been loaned to Moreirense and Uniao Madeira for the past two seasons, but Simeone has insisted he must have cover for Oblak until Moya recovers, which is expected to be around two months away.
