Lucas Hernandez is ready to play LaLiga A faster recovery than was expected

Lucas Hernandez has reemerged from the wilderness at Atletico Madrid after completing his Bayern Munich move and undergoing surgery on ligaments in his right knee, returning to the club's training facilities on Thursday.

It was the first time the player had been seen since March 27, having spent time recovering in Austria and Germany under the watch of Bayern's medical staff.

Although he won't, Lucas would be fit and able to take part in Atleti's Friday session, as his recovery is now completed and he is capable of training again.

?Initially, his aim was to recover in time for pre-season training with his new club, but things moved along faster than expected.

Lucas is expected to return to Germany again before the holidays begin and will follow a specific plan during his off time and should be able to start pre-season as planned under Niko Kovac.
