Atleti suffers Le Normand blow
Atletico Madrid defender Robin Le Normand suffered a high-grade injury to the back of his left knee during his side's 3-1 Champions League win over Union Saint-Gilloise, the LaLiga club said.
The Spain international was substituted midway through the first half of Wednesday's home game against the Belgian club after colliding with a Saint-Gilloise player and grimacing in pain.
Medical tests confirmed the injury was caused by a hyperextension of the joint.
"Further assessment carried out on Wednesday confirmed a high-grade injury to the posterior capsule and the semimembranosus muscle, but the ligaments and meniscus were not affected," an Atleti statement read.
Spanish media reported that the 28 year-old could be out for at least a month, which would rule him out of Spain's World Cup qualifier away to Georgia on 15 November and Atleti's Champions League home game against Inter Milan on 26 November.
