🤕 Robin Le Normand injured, Atleti release his medical report | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid has officially released the medical report for Robin Le Normand, confirming the bad news for the coaching staff and fans. The Spanish central defender suffers a high-grade injury that will keep him off the field for an as yet undetermined time.

The Spanish international was forced to withdraw during the first half of the recent Champions League match against Union St. Galloise, raising alarms at the club. The defender felt discomfort after an action where his left knee suffered a hyperextension.

Following additional tests conducted this Wednesday, the club's medical team issued a diagnosis detailing the severity of the injury. Le Normand suffers a high-grade injury to the posterior capsule and the semimembranosus muscle. It is a minor relief that the examination confirmed the ligament and meniscal integrity of the joint, which avoids surgery for now.

Although the recovery period has not been specified, the nature of Robin Le Normand's injury suggests it will be a significant absence for the team's upcoming commitments. The central defender is a crucial piece in the defensive scheme, and the coach will need to adjust his starting eleven in the coming weeks to face the challenges of the League and Champions.

The player has immediately begun physiotherapy treatments and the readaptation process. The club insists that Robin Le Normand's progress will be key to determining the exact date of his return to competition, maintaining the utmost caution to ensure his full recovery.
