Lee Kang-in returns to Atletico Madrid training after injury

Atletico Madrid midfielder Lee Kang-in has returned to team training following a recent absence due to quadriceps discomfort. After being rested during the UEFA Champions League match against Stuttgart to prevent further injury, Lee participated in training sessions, including rondos and gym work, alongside teammates.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone had opted to manage Lee's workload carefully to ensure his availability for upcoming critical fixtures, including matches against Bayern Munich and Barcelona. The decision to rest Lee was part of a broader effort to manage player fitness amidst several other injuries within the squad, including Koke, Christian Romero, and Jonny Cardoso.

Lee's return provides a significant boost for Atletico as they prepare to face Deportivo in their upcoming La Liga fixture. He has been a key contributor this season, recording two goals and one assist in 11 official appearances since joining the club.
