Kieran Trippier is back for Atletico Madrid to face Chelsea tomorrow night.

The England international has served his betting ban, driven by the English FA, and is set to start for Atletico in the second-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie.

AS says inside Atletico, the punishment was seen as a way to favour the interests of Chelsea, since at the time of suspension there were no England internationals and there was the first leg of the Champions League against the London team.

Trippier has since returned in the LaLiga, playing three games ahead of the Champions League showdown.

Chelsea hold a 1-0 lead from the first-leg.
