Atlético wants to have available to Robin Le Normand on Wednesday against Lille and he will undergo a test next Tuesday to determine if he is fit for recall. It all depends on how the head bruise he suffered in the League match against Real Madrid has been absorbed. The Frenchman would replace his compatriot Clément Lenglet, who could be seriously injured after falling on him Witsel in the final minutes of the clash against Leganés. Tests are underway to see if it is a sprain or if something is broken, but early predictions are not optimistic.
Aware of the importance of Wednesday’s clash against Lille after being beaten in Lisbon by Benfica on the second day, the technical staff and medical services agreed on the possibility of accelerating the return of the Normanwhich was not expected until late in November, given the good news revealed by its latest tests. However, this is not a typical injury, but rather a much more complicated problem since it affects an area as sensitive as the brain, and of course not the slightest risk will be taken. If there is no complete guarantee that he has recovered, he will not be included in the appeal.
Another one who is already very close is the Navarrese Azpilicuetawho has almost recovered and is about to answer calls. If all goes well Wednesday against Lille Simeone will have at his disposal Le Normand, Witsel, Giménez, Reinildo and the big news of the last few days, Galán, which he uses in a position similar to that held by Mario Hermoso to take advantage of his ball release. Logically, however, the physical size of the Extremadura is not the same as that of the current Roma player, and this is a problem that the coach must solve.
