Filipe Luis rejoined the group workout after being out of action for three matches due to a muscle edema he sustained during Atleti's 2-0 win over Monaco in the Champions League, while Uruguayan central defender Diego God?n strengthened his presence in the training after recovering from a muscle injury, reports Efe.
With Godin and Luis back, Atletico coach Diego Simeone has four first-team defenders available ahead of Tuesday's game, in which the Spanish team will seek a win to wrap up the group stage as Group A winner.
The other fit first team defenders are Colombian right-back Santiago Arias and Uruguayan central defender Jose Maria Gimenez, who played in Atleti's 3-0 win over Alaves on Saturday after replacing Lucas Hernandez, who sprained his right knee.
That was Gimenez's first appearance after recovering from a muscle injury that sidelined him for five matches.
Spanish right-back Juanfran Torres continues to recover from an injury and is expected to resume training on Wednesday, while Montenegrin central defender Stefan Savic will be serving a one-match suspension after being sent off against Monaco.
In addition, Atletico is set to miss forward Diego Costa for at least two months after he underwent a surgery on the fifth metatarsal bone of his left foot in Brazil.
