Following the aftermath of the game, Le Normand was sent for urgent tests, which confirmed a brain injury and a subdural hematoma.

Despite confidence over him being able to return to match action at the start of November, Diego Simeone has confirmed he remains unclear on comeback date, with tentative steps taken.

As per the latest update from Mundo Deportivo, Le Normand has now taken a limited part in training, but the real test will come as he moves into contact sessions in the coming weeks.

No risk will be taken over his return with the potential of an absence stretching into 2025.
