Le Normand nears return with Atlético de Madrid
Robin Le Normand continues to progress in his recovery after suffering a traumatic brain injury with subdural hematoma in the derby on September 28. The French center-back has completed his first training session with the team and has rehearsed as a starter in the eleven that Simeone is preparing for the visit to Cacereño this Thursday.
Although it is still expected to confirm his complete recovery in the next sessions, his presence with the group and in the match against the reserve team is great news. Simeone has also given opportunities to players who have not been regulars in recent victories, with a lineup formed by Musso; Azpilicueta, Witsel, Le Normand, Reinildo; Riquelme, Javi Serrano, Koke, Lino; Correa and Sorloth.
