This would mark a potential return to a high-stakes contest after a period of absence.[3]

Coverage through mid-May 2026 suggested continued coverage of Oblak’s form and fitness as Atlético approached late-season decisions, with context around his role as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper and the impact of his fitness on the team's defensive stability.[2]
