Diego Simeone unsure of Jan Oblak return

Simeone unsure of Oblak return

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has admitted that he is unsure when summer signing Jan Oblak will be fit to return from a back injury.

The goalkeeper arrived at the Vicente Calderon from Benfica last month, but has struggled with a back injury since moving to the Spanish capital.

"[Oblak] is a question for the medical department," Simeone told Marca.

"Dr Villalon (Atletico's head of medical services) will surely inform us about it, and that's who he's working with."

A report has claimed that fellow summer signing Miguel Moya will start the season as Simeone's first-choice goalkeeper following a string of impressive pre-season performances.
