Atletico Madrid midfielder Diego is set to return after being out for a month because of a leg injury.

Diego has overcome a muscle injury to his right thigh and could make his return for Atletico against last-place Zaragoza in the Spanish league on Sunday.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone says Diego's return would be ''the best reinforcement for the final stretch of the season.''

The Brazilian player has scored four goals in all competitions since joining Atletico in the offseason.
