Atletico Madrid midfielder Nicolas Gaitan is available to feature during Wednesday's Champions League tie with Leicester City after recovering from a toe injury.
The Argentina international was ruled out of action March 30 when he was diagnosed with arthritis in the metatarsal phalangeal joint of his left big toe.
Atletico revealed Tuesday that Gaitan managed to return to regular training alongside his teammates.
