Trains in full

Lee has participated fully in team training for the past two days after recovering from quadriceps discomfort and will be available for Saturday's La Liga clash against Deportivo, according to Carrusel Deportivo.

Analysis: Lee appears to have overcome the quadriceps issue that kept him out of Tuesday's Champions League draw against Stuttgart, having completed two consecutive days of unrestricted team training. The South Korean midfielder had been dealing with discomfort since Atletico Madrid's encounter against Espanyol, prompting the coaching staff to manage his workload carefully and avoid taking unnecessary risks in the European fixture. However, his return to full training Thursday and Friday suggests the problem is no longer a significant concern, putting him in contention for Saturday's clash against Deportivo. Lee could return to his usual attacking role if deemed ready to start, potentially pushing Jonathan David to the bench. Although his recent fitness concerns could encourage the coaching staff to manage his minutes, he should be available for selection this weekend.

Back in training

Kang-in (quadriceps) was spotted in training Thursday and should be an option for Saturday's league match against Deportivo, according to Diario AS.

Analysis: Kang-in didn't play against Stuttgart on Tuesday, but being spotted back in training two days before the Deportivo clash suggests he should be available this weekend. If so, Kang-in could return to his regular role in attack, potentially pushing Jonathan David to the bench.
