Atletico Madrid have been boosted by the returns of key pair Saul Niguez and Luis Suarez for their Champions League tie with Lokomotiv Moscow in midweek.
Suarez was rested for Atletico’s weekend 3-1 La Liga win against Osasuna with Joao Felix leading the attack for Diego Simeone’s team.
However, according to reports from Marca, the Uruguayan will be fit in time to face the Russian giants alongside Spanish midfielder Niguez.
The 25-year old has not featured for Atletico for over a month, after picking up a thigh injury in training, but he has now returned to full training and is included in the 24-man squad.
