Kang-in Lee gets special training: Atlético targets the Deportivo clash
Kang-in Lee trained with reduced workload due to quad discomfort and is expected to be ready for Atlético’s match vs Deportivo.
Kang-in Lee was given special training work with Atlético Madrid during Thursday’s session after the forward missed the game against Stuttgart due to quadriceps discomfort. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the coaching staff decided to manage his load, and this Thursday he trained at a lighter pace with the players who started in the Champions League.
The goal is for him to be available for the match against Deportivo, but the club is determined not to take risks. The winger also came off early in South Korea’s latest match with ankle problems linked to an older injury, even though those issues don’t appear to be stopping him from playing for Atlético.
Thursday’s session featured additional absences: Cardoso joined the already-known withdrawals of Koke and Cuti.
