Mandzukic trains normally with a bandage on his head

Atlético returned to training today after Tuesday night’s match against Real Madrid. The starters from the Champions League clash trained separately from the rest of the squad on the pitch of the club’s Cerro del Espino training base. They took part in running exercises and rode on a stationary bike. Mandzukic, who had to be treated for a gash to the head in the derby match, trained normally. He did so with a small bandage covering the wound from the collision with Ramos when the pair were jumping for a ball.

One of the players with a smile on his face was Oblak. The Atlético goalkeeper produced a great performance in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, making five good saves to deny Madrid a crucial away goal. He was joking about with Griezmann on the bike. The team will return to have a full session tomorrow at 11am ahead of the weekend match against Deportivo.
