Thibaut Courtois has handed Atletico Madrid a boost ahead of the derby with Real Madrid by returning to full training.

The Belgian youngster missed the midweek Cup tie with Real Jaen after reporting in with flu-like symptoms.

Rested as a precaution and skipping yesterday’s training, the Chelsea-owned ‘keeper was thought a doubt to prove his fitness in time for Saturday night’s derby at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, he has seemingly recovered, having made a return to training on Thursday, and now looks certain to be fit for facing Madrid.
