Atletico Madrid have included Radamel Falcao in his 20-man squad for Wednesday's Europa League match at Celtic.
The Colombian striker suffered a strain to the abductor muscle in his left leg while on international duty earlier in the month and missed his club's last two matches, including the derby defeat against Real Madrid, as a result.
After training with the rest of the squad on Sunday and Monday, Falcao has been given the green light to feature against the Scottish side.
The news will come as a major boost to the Liga strugglers, as Falcao has already scored nine goals in all competitions since making the move to Spain from Porto this summer.
Joel, Silvio, Tiago and Pulido have all been left out of Manzano's squad for the decisive contest in Glasgow.
Atletico are joint leaders with Udinese in Group I, with seven points from four games, while Celtic are third, with two points fewer.
