Mario Mandzukic fit for Real Madrid quarter-final

Madrid: Atletico Madrid received a huge boost ahead of their Champions League quarter-final, first-leg against Real Madrid on Tuesday as Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic has been passed fit.

The former Bayern Munich man has been sidelined for the past two games due to a recurring ankle problem.

However, he returned to training on Sunday with the club confirming he will be fit for selection against the European champions in midweek.

Mandzukic scored Atletico`s fourth goal in a famous 4-0 win when the sides last met in February.

Indeed, Los Rojiblancos are unbeaten in six meetings against Real this season, but will still be keen to avenge defeat to Carlo Ancelotti`s men in last season`s Champions League final.
