Atletico receive Turan boost for Chelsea clash

Madrid: Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan has been passed fit to face Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday after overcoming a groin injury.

Turan trained with the rest of his teammates on Sunday as Atletico began to prepare for the visit of Jose Mourinho’s men with just a second European Cup final appearance in the club’s history in their sights.

The Turkish international has been sidelined since his side’s 1-1 draw against Barcelona at the beginning of April and his return will be a huge boost for Diego Simeone’s men as he has scored three times in just seven Champions League appearances this season.
