Atlético de Madrid have already left the Spanish capital to land in Sweden and prepare for their last friendly match of the summer. The red-and-whites will face Juventus Turin at 3:00 p.m., just before the start of La Liga. Simeone has made official today the list of players who have boarded the plane to face the Italian team.
Robin Le Normand is on the list, having been training at Majadahonda for some time now, although he has not yet made his debut. The Eurocup champions could have their first minutes in the Atlético shirt in tomorrow's friendly. In fact, Simeone has only taken six defenders to face Juventus in Turin , which is quite remarkable.
Robin Le Normand makes his debut
Atlético de Madrid will play their last pre-season match tomorrow before looking ahead to their league debut against Villarreal . The red-and-whites will face Juventus in a summer duel that has already become a regular occurrence. Simeone published the squad list this morning and Robin Le Normand , one of the first signings, has been included in it .
The Spanish international was the first to land at the Colchoneros in this transfer market, covering a very important position. Robin Le Normand was training with the South American internationals while the rest of the team played different matches. Now, after achieving a full victory in the three previous matches, the player could make his official debut with the red and white shirt .
Simeone has only called up six defenders , leaving many of the players who could be considered important in Madrid. Along with Robin Le Normand, César Azpilicueta , Axel Witsel , Reinildo , Ilias Kostis and Dani Muñoz will also be there. Players Arthur Vermeeren, Nahuel Molina and Jan Oblak have not travelled to Sweden and will continue training in Majadahonda.
Simeone's center back
One of Atlético de Madrid 's top priorities this summer was to effectively strengthen its defence. Robin Le Normand was one of the sporting management's main targets , being the first signing to be officially announced. In fact, the defence is still not considered complete until a top-quality replacement for Mario Hermoso is found.
Tomorrow will be Simeone 's last chance to test his skills and prepare for his league debut against Villarreal. Ahead of that match, other new signings such as Conor Gallagher and Julián Álvarez are expected to be part of the squad. It should be noted that Atlético de Madrid will play four games before the summer transfer window closes.
