CLEMENT LENGLET NEWS

Fills stat sheet in UCL win Lenglet made three tackles, six clearances, two interceptions and one block during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League win over PSG.

Impact Lenglet committed a huge mistake in the 14th minute, losing the ball inside his own box in the play that led to the opening goal of the game for the opposition. However, the center-back bounced back and was simply flawless throughout the rest of the contest, being key for his side to withstand some heavy pressure and eventually go for a huge come-from-behind win. Since becoming a starter, Lenglet racked up four tackles and 18 clearances over four matches in all competitions.

Returns ahead of schedule Lenglet (knee/ankle) is starting for Atleti during Sunday's match against Las Palmas.

Suffers knee and ankle sprain Lenglet suffered a knee sprain and an ankle sprain in Sunday's 3-1 win over Leganes and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, the club announced Monday.

Impact The diagnosis is quite serious, as the central defender suffered a Grade 2 sprain in his left ankle and a Grade 1 sprain in his left knee after Axel Witsel fell on top of him during Sunday's win. The defender should be out for several weeks due to the injury, and at the very least, he should be sidelined until after the November break. However, a more precise timeline for his recovery will be provided as Lenglet undergoes a rehab process.

Shines in Atleti debut Lenglet made 10 clearances and one interception, suffered two fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad.

Impact Lenglet made his debut with Atletico after joining on loan and was simply amazing at the heart of the defense with double-digit clearances and a lot of great reads to dominate opposing forwards and allow his team to escape with one point despite being completely dominated. Competition for a starting spot is strong at Atleti, but more games like this will make Lenglet escalate the pecking order lightning fast.

Moves to Atletico on loan Lenglet has signed a season-long loan deal to join Atletico Madrid from Barcelona until the summer of 2025, his new club announced Monday.

Impact Lenglet was not expected to have a role at Barcelona, but he'll add some much-needed depth to Atletico's defensive line. He's expected to provide cover at center-back, a position where manager Diego Simeone tends to rotate quite often, meaning Lenglet should have an easier path toward regular minutes, at least compared to his situation at Barca.

Returns from loan Lenglet returned to Barcelona following the conclusion of his loan to Aston Villa.

Impact Lenglet was a solid contributor on loan with Villa, he made 14 appearances (all starts) and played a major role in keeping them among the Champions League places. The defender will likely be sold on as he has drawn interest from around Europe and outside of Europe as well.

Sees short time as regular starter Lenglet appeared and started in 14 games, registering one assist on two chances created to go along with seven interceptions, 13 tackles and 47 clearances.

Impact Lenglet saw a limited role despite starting in 14 games, as those were the only games he appeared in, going unused on the bench in the other 24 games. He was still decent on the field, with two of his starts leading to clean sheets. However, with the defense of Vilal currently loaded with potions and the Saudi Pro League being interested in his talents, it does look likely the defender could be on his way out, only having one more year on his contract.

Dealing with minor injury Lenglet will miss Thursday's UECL match with a small injury, according to manager Unai Emery.

Impact Clement missed the draw against Brentford and whatever the issue, it will keep him out at least another match. He's been racking up minutes in 2024, but with Diego Carlos and Pau Torres both healthy again, he isn't an every-match starter in league play. Though with UECL still going, Emery will continue to rotate center-backs as he sees fit.

Impact Lengelt has seen a huge boost in minutes over the past couple of weeks, as after not seeing the field for the club until mid-December, he has now started in every match since then. However, this is most likely due to the multiple injuries that have occurred to their center-backs, as Pau Torres just recovered from an ankle issue while Ezri Konsa (knee) and Diego Carlos (hamstring) are still out but expected to return soon. With this being said, Lenglet will probably see a drop in minutes once his teammates are all healthy, as they seemed to be the preferred options when healthy, but he will still hope to see some time, hopefully getting starts here and there in a rotational role.

Logs assist versus Man Utd Lenglet provided an assist and made two tackles (both won), three clearances and one interception during Tuesday's 3-2 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Lenglet was solid defensively, especially during the first half, when he helped his team keeping the opposition scoreless and used his aerial presence on the attacking end to assist Leander Dendoncker for his team's second goal. This was an impressive outing for a player who was making just the second start of the season after being an unused substitute in each league contest since joining the club. Pau Torres, who was benched against United, could be back for Saturday's clash against Burnley but Lenglet proved he can be up to the task if he gets another nod.

Impact Lenglet completes a move to Aston Villa, where he will be a depth option. The defender is fully out of favor with Barcelona but has failed to secure a permanent transfer away from the club due to his wage demands. It's possible Lenglet could impress with Villa and earn a starting role.

Decent loan spell at Tottenham Lenglet recorded two assists, kept one clean sheet and picked up four yellow cards in 26 appearances (24 starts) this past season.

Impact Lenglet had a decent loan season at Spurs this past campaign, with two assists in his 24 starts, his most in a season in his career. He only kept one clean sheet though, with Spurs struggling on defense throughout the season. The loan from Barcelona did not include an option to buy, so Lenglet may not have a future at Spurs after his one season.

Impact Lenglet looks poised to avoid missing any time due to his shoulder problem. The central defender has featured in just three of his last five contests in which he registered five clearances, three interceptions and one shot (off target). Even if cleared to play, Lenglet is far from a lock to feature in the starting XI.

Subs off with shoulder issue Lenglet was forced off in the final minutes of Saturday's win against Crystal Palace with a shoulder issue, according to manager Ryan Mason.

Impact Lenglet was back in the starting XI for Ryan Mason after sitting in the match against Liverpool. He's been a regular most of the season, but this injury combined with Mason's tinkering, his minutes are far from guaranteed the final three matches. He's on eight clean sheets and two assists in his 21 starts this season.

Fighting foot issue Lenglet is considered a late test for Thursday's match against Manchester United, according to caretaker manager Ryan Mason.

Impact Lenglet was well enough to get on the bench Thursday, but he's apparently still dealing with a foot issue that forced him out in the first half a week ago. With Ben Davies returning from a muscle injury, Mason will have to decide who he starts in the back following one of the worst performances by the team in club history.

Impact Lenglet has started 10 straight matches for the club in which he recorded 20 tackles (14 won), 14 clearances and eight interceptions. If Lenglet is unable to play, the potentially returning Ben Davies (hamstring) could be in the mix to claim a spot in the starting XI, though Davinson Sanchez should be in consideration as well.
