Atlético Madrid's Goalkeeper, Jan Oblak, has been in the headlines recently as he underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon on his left leg.

The 28-year-old has had a busy season so far for Atlético, winning the Copa del Rey with them last year and securing another Champions League spot this season. He has also helped the club to win the La Liga title twice and has been named as one of the best defenders in Europe by UEFA.

In January, Oblak was called up to the Spain national team for the World Cup in Brazil, but he did not make it onto the plane. However, he is back in training now and is expected to be ready for the start of the new campaign next season.

It seems that the injury has come at a bad time for the club, who have struggled to find their form after the arrival of new manager Diego Simeone in February. Oblak's absence could have affected their chances of reaching the top flight again.

Despite the setback, Atlético remain confident of returning to the top flight next season and are hoping to improve their performance on the pitch. They will need to focus on repairing their injuries and improving their defense if they want to succeed in the league once again.
