Atletico Madrid Theo to join sibling Lucas in senior set up

Lucas Hernandez has made 11 appearances in Atletico Madrid's first team already and the Frenchman will be hoping to make an even bigger impact on the senior squad next season whilst competing with a familiar face in order to achieve his goal; his brother.

Theo is set to join his older sibling in Diego Simeone's side after impressing as part of Atletico B.

With the two versatile enough to play across the back line, and rumours of Sime Vrsaljko arriving from Sassuolo, it would seem that Simeone will have plenty of cover for his first choice defensive stars.

The high levels set by Filipe Luis and Juanfran mean that the Hernandez brothers will have their work cut out if they're to break into the starting XI, but the siblings will be giving their all do provide competition in the 2017-18 season.
