Mandzukic out for Atletico’s game

MADRID: Atletico Madrid forward Mario Mandzukic has been left out of the Spanish champions’ squad for Saturday’s La Liga game at Deportivo La Coruna due to an ankle problem, coach Diego Simeone said on Friday.
The Croatia international played the whole of Tuesday’s 0-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg draw at home to Real Madrid but has been rested for the trip to Galicia, Simeone told a news conference.
Atletico’s Spain midfielder Mario Suarez is also sidelined.
“I spoke to the doctor and Mandzukic has ankle pain and Mario some discomfort,” Simeone said.
“Hopefully, we will have both of them back quickly so we can have a full squad available again.”(Reuters)
