Le Normand shines with Spain and returns strengthened to Atleti

Le Normand, Atlético de Madrid’s centre-back, played a key role with the Spanish national team in their recent match against the Netherlands at Mestalla. The player completed the entire game, contributing to Spain’s qualification for the Nations League final four after a thrilling penalty shootout.

The trust placed in the centre-back by Luis de la Fuente is noteworthy, having lined him up as a starter in both matches against the Dutch team. Le Normand’s season at Atlético has been a mixed bag.

After arriving at the Metropolitano with expectations of a starting role, an unfortunate injury during the first league derby kept him off the field for several weeks. His return came in December, in a Copa del Rey match.

Despite not immediately regaining his status as an undisputed starter, Le Normand has been gaining prominence in the team. This league break has served him to accumulate valuable minutes with the national team, strengthening his confidence and game rhythm.

The player is expected to rejoin Atlético’s training sessions, where he will make himself available to Diego Simeone alongside his teammates. His performance with Spain is great news for Atleti, who are recovering a motivated player in good physical shape to face the upcoming challenges.
