Atletico Madrid squad list for Sparta Praha trip

Robin Le Normand has been out of action since 1st October. A few days after La Liga derby against Real Madrid, Atletico announced that he had suffered a head injury with subdural haematoma in the aftermath of the match and that his recovery time was undetermined. On Monday, fans had hoped that Diego Simeone would have him back in the squad to face Sparta Praha in the Champions League, but that has not been the case.
The club announced, through its social networks, the squad that will travel to the Czech Republic for the main UEFA club competition and the former Real Sociedad player is not part of the list. Thus, this will be the 11th match of the ‘Colchoneros’ without being able to count on one of their summer signings. The former ‘Txuri-urdin’, in particular, joined the Madrid side on a 34.5 million euro deal.
At the start of this campaign, he had carved out a significant role for himself in the ideas of his coach, who had given him a starting place in 8 out of 8 appearances. He only missed the visit to Vallecas in mid-September. In fact, he should have been called up for the Spanish national team to close the regular phase of the Nations League. He was present for the September break, when he was shown a straight red card against Switzerland.
In any case, the Atletico Madrid squad is made up of: Juan Musso, Jose Maria Gimenez, Cesar Azpilicueta, Conor Gallagher, Rodrigo de Paul, Koke Resurreccion, Antoine Griezmann, Pablo Barrios, Alexander Sorloth, Angel Correa, Samu Lino, Jan Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Clément Lenglet, Rodrigo Riquelme, Julian Alvarez, Axel Witsel, Javi Galan, Giuliano Simeone, Reinildo Mandava and Antonio Gomis.
