Fit-again Alessio Cerci has a chance to resurrect his Atletico Madrid career after being called up for their cup game on Tuesday.
Cerci has spent seven months out with a serious knee injury and not appeared for Atleti since December 2014, but he is among those selected for the second leg against third-tier Guijuelo in the Copa del Rey last 16.
Los Colchoneros lead 6-0 from the first leg, leaving little riding on this match, but with their forwards struggling for goals at the moment, the Italian will be hoping for a run-out.
Fit-again Alessio Cerci has a chance to resurrect his Atletico Madrid career after being called up for their cup game on Tuesday.
Cerci has spent seven months out with a serious knee injury and not appeared for Atleti since December 2014, but he is among those selected for the second leg against third-tier Guijuelo in the Copa del Rey last 16.
Los Colchoneros lead 6-0 from the first leg, leaving little riding on this match, but with their forwards struggling for goals at the moment, the Italian will be hoping for a run-out.
The forward returned to Italy with Milan in January 2015, in the deal that took Fernando Torres back to Atleti, but struggled to establish himself at San Siro and was sent to Genoa for the final six months of last season.
Cerci then returned to Spain with no future under Diego Simeone but saw a deadline-day switch to Bologna collapse in August.
The 29-year-old has also been registered to play in La Liga and the Champions League and could now be set to capitalise on Atleti’s impending transfer ban.
