Having been given the all-clear by Atlético's medical staff, the former Celta Vigo midfielder is back in first-team contention well ahead of schedule, with his recovery time initially estimated at a month and half.

And the Argentinian's return to fitness was in evidence during Atleti training in Madrid on Monday, as Diego Simeone's men continued their preparations for their last-16 first leg against the Dutch champions.

Los Colchoneros will travel to the Netherlands on Tuesday morning ahead of the encounter at the Philips Stadion.

Atlético's squad to face PSV is: Oblak, Moyá; Juanfran, Gámez, Godín, Lucas, Giménez, Savic, Filipe, Gabi, Kranevitter, Augusto, Koke, Saúl, Óliver; Griezmann, Vietto, Correa and Torres.
