Atletico's Oblak, Godin return for Barcelona clash

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has the backbone of his side at his disposal once again.

Goalkeeper Jan Oblak and defender Diego Godin have both been named in the starting XI for the contest against Barcelona; the shot-stopper has been out since undergoing shoulder surgery in December, while the no-nonsense centre-back returns from a thigh problem suffered earlier this month.

With league leader Real Madrid stumbling in midweek, Sunday's combatants will be looking to close the gap on Los Blancos; a win would see Barcelona provisionally grab top spot, while Atleti could move to within four points of its city rival with a victory.

Real Madrid will, however, still have a match in-hand after Sunday's clash against Villarreal.
