Lee Kang-in injury and return at Atletico Madrid

Overview

Atletico Madrid midfielder Lee Kang-in returned to team training following a period of absence caused by quadriceps discomfort. Manager Diego Simeone had previously rested Lee during a UEFA Champions League match against Stuttgart to manage his workload and prevent further injury.

Following his recovery, Lee returned to the starting lineup for a La Liga match against Deportivo at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Playing as a right winger for 67 minutes, Lee recorded a 78 percent passing accuracy and successfully completed all four of his attempted dribbles. The match resulted in a 1-0 victory for Atletico Madrid, with Julian Alvarez scoring the decisive goal in the 48th minute following a cross from Alejandro Grimaldo.

The win extended Atletico Madrid’s winning streak to six matches, keeping the club in second place in the league standings with 25 points, trailing leaders FC Barcelona by two points. Despite the victory, Diego Simeone noted difficulties in controlling the game’s rhythm, expressing concern over the team’s tendency to panic after failing to secure a second goal. Spanish media outlets, including Marca, also observed the team’s struggle to dominate the match.
