Balance and recovery in midfield
Hjulmand has played 342 league minutes for Atletico Madrid since joining during the summer transfer window and also featured in the Champions League trip to Anfield.
Analysis: Hjulmand has settled into a midfield role focused on balance and ball recovery rather than a fixed starting spot, and he was left out of the XI for the derby win over Real Madrid but should compete for a starting role with Johnny Cardoso this campaign. Hjulmand contributed eight chances created, eight tackles, eight interceptions and eight clearances in eight appearances across all competitions.
Trains fully, option vs Sevilla
Hjulmand (undisclosed) trained fully Friday and is an option for Saturday's clash against Sevilla, according to Atletico MD.
Analysis: Hjulmand had left an earlier training session early due to discomfort, with Koke stepping in for the rest of that rehearsed lineup at the time. His full return to training now confirms he has recovered, and he continues to build on his rising standing in manager Diego Simeone's midfield after playing 12 minutes off the bench in the opener before earning a start in the club's most recent match against Villarreal.
