Clement Lenglet
30-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 1/18/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lenglet spent the 2024/25 season on loan from Barcelona, but he performed at such a high level that he was signed permanently by the Madrid side. He started in each of his 23 appearances in league play, tallying two goals, one assist and 103 clearances. The Frenchman figures to be a regular for Atletico Madrid going forward, though the team also has two quality center-backs in Jose Maria Gimenez and Robin Le Normand. There could rotation because of that, assuming Diego Simeone sticks with more of a 4-4-2 formation.
Suffers MCL injury
Lenglet underwent further scans that revealed he suffered a medial collateral ligament injury that will rule him out for several weeks, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Lenglet was forced off early in Wednesday's clash against Atletico Baleares in the Copa del Rey after suffering what was later revealed to be an MCL injury. The normal recovery timeline for that type of injury is measured in several weeks, suggesting he won't be back before at least mid January. This is a blow for the Colchoneros, as he has been a regular starter in the backline this season due to injuries, and his absence will offer David Hancko a larger role in the backline and Marc Pubill increased playing time for Atletico.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join Atletico Madrid
Lenglet could be in line to join Atletico Madrid before the end of the transfer window, according to El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Lenglet is not expected to have a role at Barcelona and is pushing for an exit before the end of the summer transfer window. Atletico Madrid could use another center-back in their depth chart, so it seems this could be a strong match for all parties involved.
