Koke: 'I am over hamstring problem'

Spanish midfielder Koke has declared himself free from injury after making his Atletico Madrid return at the weekend.

The 23-year-old spent much of February on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, but returned as a substitute in Atletico's 0-0 draw at Sevilla in the league on Sunday.

"I felt good. I've missed three consecutive games through the injury but I felt no discomfort," Koke told reporters after the match.

Atletico are now seven points behind the league leaders Real Madrid and just one point ahead of fourth-placed Valencia, who visit the Vicente Calderon next weekend.
