Kang-in Lee makes debut in Atletico's squad for Korea trip
Atletico includes Kang-in Lee in the squad for the first time without him having trained with the team, while Ruggeri stays behind due to his transfer to Aston Villa.
Atletico Madrid have announced their squad for the trip to South Korea, where they will face Manchester City. The call-up brings both positive and negative surprises, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
The main highlight is the inclusion of Kang-in Lee, who appears in an Atletico squad for the first time without having completed a single training session. The South Korean winger will join the group once they arrive in Asia, where he has been working with a club fitness coach.
Among notable absences, Matteo Ruggeri will not travel as Atletico has already reached an agreement with Aston Villa for his transfer. The Italian defender must now settle salary details with the English club. Alexander Sorloth, Giuliano Simeone and Alejandro Grimaldo are also absent. On the positive side, Pablo Barrios and Johnny Cardoso are included after training normally this week and could make their first appearance in the tour.
