Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak happy to be fully fit

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak is happy to be back in action for preseason.

Oblak has recovered from a neck injury.

“When you don't play it's difficult. You end up supporting the team from the sidelines but it's always complicated when you can't help the team. In my case, it hasn't been easy for a few months - from the first day when I stopped playing until today. I've been recovering day by day, now I am able to train and play perfectly, I am happy," he explained.

“You don't want to miss a single game - friendlies, the league, the Champions League... it doesn't matter. When you're a kid and you play with your friends, you want to win, you want to win every game, to compete in the best way - that's how we'll do it tomorrow against La Real. We'll do everything possible to win the game."
