Robin le Normand trained with the rest of the squad on Monday afternoon, clearing up any doubts about his condition after the blow to the head that forced him to be substituted against Espanyol.

The Copa del Rey is back this week and everything is still to be decided as to which two teams will be present at La Cartuja on 26 April. Undoubtedly, the most evenly matched tie is the one between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, especially after the four-all draw in the first leg.

The Rojiblanco squad trained on Monday afternoon, and the positive surprise was the presence of Robin le Normand. This clears up all the doubts regarding his participation in next Wednesday's clash.

The centre-back had to be substituted against Espanyol due to a blow to the head from Roberto Fernandez. Blood could be seen on the former Real Sociedad player's head as he made his way to the tunnel.

Le Normand had already been sidelined for several months after suffering a head injury in a collision with Tchouameni in the first leg derby at the Metropolitano.
