The blow that caused him a subdural hematoma forced extreme precautions. The medical team at Atletico's priority has been to avoid any risks associated with the cranial edema that the injury caused. Although physically the center-back is in great shape, the concern lies in preventing possible relapses due to the physical stress of competition.

The helmet becomes a key tool during this phase, allowing him to train with greater safety before facing more demanding contact situations. This Sunday, he could take the next step in his recovery: participating in exercises with higher intensity and physical contact.

When will he return?

Le Normand's official return is expected at the beginning of December. Although there is still the possibility that he might be available for the match against Valladolid in a week, it seems more likely that his return will occur in the second round of the Copa del Rey on December 5 or in the league match against Sevilla on Sunday the 8th.

The player must get used to the use of the helmet, an element that, although crucial for his protection, could hinder his performance if he does not feel comfortable. The medical team is paying attention to this detail, as some players have had difficulty adapting to this type of protection.

Le Normand is making progress with small but steady steps. Although his return is getting closer, both the coaching staff and the medical team at Atletico are clear that his health is the absolute priority. Therefore, it might be a perfect moment from a fantasy perspective to try to sign Atletico de Madrid's center-back, especially since his price has dropped during these weeks to season lows, currently standing at 4.6M in Comunio.
