Le Normand returns to Atlético's defense after 69 days
French-born Spanish defender Mario Hermoso returns to Atlético Madrid’s squad after a long rehabilitation period following a subdural hematoma suffered in the derby against Real Madrid. His return is good news for the team, as they remained unbeaten with him on the field.
Another player who has stood out in his absence is Galán, who has been key in the team’s recovery after a poor run of results. Simeone is preparing a team with nine changes from the last league game, including the inclusion of Le Normand in defense.
Atlético will face Cacereño, a team three divisions below, in the Copa del Rey. Cacereño’s coach, Julián Cobos, has stated that they will go out to enjoy themselves and try to play the game of their lives.
