Worry at the Metropolitano! Le Normand Forced to Leave the Field
Alarms went off in the match against Espanyol when Le Normand had to be substituted after an accidental collision on the field. A game incident, a clash of heads with Roberto, forced the central defender to retire prematurely, just 25 minutes into the match.
The medical services of Atlético de Madrid, acting with the utmost caution, decided that the player should leave the field to undergo the relevant tests. The decision was made taking into account the traumatic brain injury with subdural hematoma that the player suffered at the beginning of the season, keeping him away from the fields for 67 days.
Remember that his recovery was a gradual process that required gym, ball exercises and the use of a rugby helmet to protect him. Although fortunately it was not more serious, the incident generated concern among the Colchoneros fans, who hope that the talented central defender will recover soon and can return to defend the red and white. José María Giménez entered the field in his place. From here, much encouragement to Le Normand and a speedy recovery!
