Zinedine Zidane think that Gareth Bale could make a quick return despite an injury setback.
The Welshman recently suffered a strained adductor muscle.
However, Zidane is confident Bale will be back at full strength soon, possibly as early as next week.
"He's a player who wants to be fit, to help his team," said Zidane. "He's the one who is most upset with what has happened.
"He will come back better than ever, that's what I think, that's what I believe. Everyone will have their own view on this, but he'll come back better than before.
"Hopefully next week he'll be back at 100 per cent."
Atletico won when the sides last met in May, but the 2-1 result still saw them dumped out of the Champions League semi-finals 4-2 on aggregate.
