Atletico Madrid's Dávid Hancko: Trains with team, remains out

Hancko (ankle) returned to team training but remains out for Saturday's clash against Athletic Club, according to the club.

Analysis:

Hancko had been unavailable for three consecutive games after an ankle injury prevented him from featuring even during the Copa del Rey final, making his return to the training pitch a significant step forward. The Slovak center-back is an undisputed starter when fit, therefore his absence forces a reshuffle in the starting XI, with Robin Le Normand covering at the back in his absence.
