Trio return for Atleti

Diego Costa, Filipe Luis and Juanfran Torres have all been called up Diego Simeone for Atletico Madrid’s Monday night match with Athletic Bilbao.

For the rematch between last season’s Europa League finalists, Simeone has been able to include this trio for the first time this season, as all three recover from injury.

Notably, striker Diego Costa is back at the club after an impressive six-month spell out at Rayo Vallecano and is passed fit after recovering from an ankle injury sustained in pre-season.

Youngster Kader Ouelasti is not included, having broken his collarbone in training in the morning.
