In the intense final minutes of the Madrid derby, there was a terrifying clash of heads between Atletico Madrid's Robin Le Normand and Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, but it was clear that something serious had happened to Le Normand.
The 27-year-old defender appeared visibly dazed and concerned players and medical staff rushed to his aid. It was uncertain how severe his injury was, as the game ended just moments after the incident. However, subsequent tests revealed that Le Normand had suffered a traumatic brain injury and a subdural haematoma, a dangerous condition where blood accumulates between the skull and the brain's surface.
Atletico Madrid released a statement confirming the news, stating that their player had undergone tests and was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and subdural haematoma. The club also stated that they would follow the necessary protocols to ensure Le Normand's safe return to the field.
Le Normand had been a key player for Atletico Madrid, starting in almost every La Liga match this season. He had also recently won the Euro 2024 with Spain, playing a crucial role in their victory against England in the final. The defender had joined Atleti from Real Sociedad for €30 million at the end of July and had been enjoying a fantastic debut season with the club.
Unfortunately, Le Normand's injury means that he will miss Atletico Madrid's upcoming matches, including a Champions League game against Benfica and a trip to his former club, Real Sociedad. The club has not yet specified how long he will be out of action, but it is certain that they will miss his presence on the field.
After his injury, Le Normand took to Instagram to share a message with his followers. He wrote, "Believe until the end," showing his determination and positive attitude despite the setback. Fans and teammates alike will be eagerly waiting for his return to the field, and we wish him a speedy recovery.
