Diego Simeone confirmed that defender Robin Le Normand will get more game time after missing Atletico Madrid's last two matches since returning from a brain injury. 

Le Normand, who made the move from Real Sociedad to Atletico earlier this year, sustained the injury in a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid back in September. 

The Spaniard made his return to competitive action during their Copa del Rey second round triumph over Cacereno earlier this month, but has not featured since. 

Simeone's side face Getafe in LaLiga this Sunday, and the Atletico boss said that Le Normand will get his opportunity to shine in the weeks to come. 

"Robin is an outstanding defender and there are team-mates who are competing at their best," Simeone told reporters.

"He is noble and works to have the opportunity to help. He will get his turn. We need everyone."
