Robin Le Normand, Atlético de Madrid defender and European champion, is about to make his comeback on the field as a starter after a long absence due to a head injury, which occurred during the derby against Real Madrid last September. After several months of training with a protective helmet, Le Normand gradually returned to competition, notably playing 45 minutes in the match against Cacereño. Atlético, who returned to training after the Christmas break, are preparing for a Copa del Rey match against Marbella, where the Spaniard is expected to play a crucial role alongside Witsel or Azpilicueta.
This match is a very good opportunity for Le Normand to regain his competitive form and assume an important role in Diego Simeone’s rigorous defense, which he had nevertheless already started to lead before his injury. According to Marcaother players from the team will have the opportunity to show themselves during this cup meeting, notably Reinildo, Riquelme, Lino and Musso. One of Atlético’s objectives for 2025 will therefore be to recover the best version of Robin, and this match could be a significant step in its return to competition.
