The main purpose of Atlético de Madrid for the 2024-25 season is to strengthen the defensive rear. You are bound for this Robin Le Normandplayer of Real societyand is about to close Dávid Hancko of Feyenoord. Two centre-backs that he hoped would give him the security that the team has lacked in recent years, and that has been a regular feature since Simeone arrived on the mattress bench.
Two center-backs who, in addition to having great virtues as defenders, have the advantage that they have hardly experienced injuries in the last three years. A problem that dragged on Atlético de Madrid in the last three seasons especially in the repeated absence of Gimenez and Savic.
In the case of Robin Le Normand He missed 7 games due to injury in Real Sociedad’s last 155 games. A true anecdote. Most of them were due to an ankle injury that prevented him from participating in ‘txuri-urdin’ in six games in September 2022. One was more recently due to muscle discomfort. Let’s remember that in his case the center-back competes every three days in the Champions League or Europa League and League.
Similar is the case of Dávid Hancko. The Slovakian has missed just six games in the last 148 he has had to play between them Prague Sparta and the Feyenoord. Team where he also played European competitions. Of course, it should be noted that right now he is injured due to a concussion. He is working to recover.
As for the 151 games that should have been played Gimenez and Savic with the Atlético de Madrid In the last three years, the Uruguayan has missed 36 due to injury, while the Montenegrin has missed 32. Numbers that get everyone’s attention.
The Uruguayan will continue but if his lack of continuity due to injuries continues, it will be the opposite of the two ‘oaks’ as it has been until now. Le Normand and hanko.
