Madrid - Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has confirmed on Monday that Mario Mandzukic and goalkeeper Jan Oblak will start his side's Champions League quarter-final, first leg against Real Madrid.
Croatian striker Mandzukic returned to training on Sunday after missing league outings against Real Sociedad and Malaga in the past week due to a recurring ankle injury and is expected to take the place of Fernando Torres alongside Antoine Griezmann in attack.
Oblak, meanwhile, was one of the heros of Atletico's last 16 win on penalties over Bayer Leverkusen as he replaced the injured Miguel Angel Moya and saved from Hakan Calhanoglu as Los Rojiblancos won the shootout 3-2.
