Soccer. Clément Lenglet (ex AS Nancy Lorraine) returned from injury in time to challenge PSG with Atletico Madrid!

When Clément Lenglet was forced out due to injury on October 20 against Leganes, after a clash with his Belgian teammate Axel Witsel, we feared the worst for the ASNL-trained defender. There was, immediately, a suspicion of rupture of the cruciate ligaments upon rewatching the rather violent images. Fortunately, the subsequent examinations ruled out this risk, but they still revealed two sprains, to the knee and the ankle.

Loaned in the off-season by FC Barcelona to Atletico Madrid, where he reunited with his friend Antoine Griezmann, Clément Lenglet seemed set for a long absence, but the former captain is a rock! He already played again, this Sunday with the “Colchoneros”, against Las Palmas in La Liga, just two weeks after his injury. He immediately regained a starting place, proof of the growing confidence placed in him by his coach Diego Simeone. The French international (15 caps) played the entire match, participating in Atletico's solid victory (2-0).

This necessarily gives him a chance to continue this Wednesday in the Champions League, against PSG at the Parc des Princes. Impossible to imagine that, on October 20, just after his injury.
