Away for AFCON Reinildo is linking up with Mozambique for AFCON and will miss at least two weeks.

Impact Reinildo is departing his club for at least a few weeks as he heads off to AFCON. It's a big blow to the starting XI, as Reinildo is a starter in almost every match. The left-back's absence could bring Lustharel Geertruida into the starting XI more frequently, or even a chance for Dennis Cirkin.

Starting Sunday Reinildo (groin) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Newcastle.

Available to face Newcastle Reinildo (groin) is an option for Sunday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Regis Le Bris.

Impact Reinildo was out for the club's last match as he suffered from a groin injury, but looks to be fit again, with the defender cleared for play. This will give the club their starting left-back moving forward, with Trai Hume likely to move to a more central role again, while Lutsharel Geertruida returns to a rotational role.

Impact Reinildo was off with Mozambique during the international break and would pick up a slight injury. However, the defender only suffered a minor injury and appears to be fine, still set to play Saturday. He has yet to miss a start on the left flank this season and will look to return to that spot immediately, with Arthur Masuaku as a possible replacement if he is not fit enough to start.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Clears suspension Reinildo is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Reinildo has served his three-match suspension following his straight red card against Aston Villa and is set to return in the next contest. The defender is expected to go straight back into the starting lineup against Chelsea on Saturday.

Impact Reinildo was shown his marching orders in the first half Sunday, with the defender receiving a straight red card after kicking out Matty Cash. This will leave him suspended for at least another match, missing out against Nottingham Forest on Sept. 27 as well. This will force a change as he is their starting left-back, with Arthur Masuaku as a possible replacement moving forward.

Mandava joins Sunderland after leaving Atletico as Tottenham signs Japan defender Takai

Former Atletico Madrid defender Reinildo Mandava has joined Premier League newcomer Sunderland

JULY 8 • Associated Press

Joins Sunderland Reinildo has joined Sunderland out of free agency, according to his new club.

Impact Reinildo has quickly found his new club after departing Atletico Madrid this offseason, heading to the Premier League to join newly promoted Sunderland. He started in 13 of his 25 appearances for Atletico last campaign, seeing a decent spot in a rotational role. However, he should find a bigger role in Sunderland and should see plenty of minutes, likely working into starting time.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Goes 90 in cup Reinildo played the full 90 during Thursday's 2-0 win over UE Vic.

Impact Reinildo got the start and went the full 90 during Thursday's cup clash. It's a bit of a surprise he wasn't rotated, as he's played a major role throughout at left-back and center-back. Reinildo has appeared in all but one match across all competitions. Barring any injuries Reinildo should remain a significant contributor moving forward.

OCTOBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nets second of the season Reinildo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win against Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.

Impact Reinildo entered as sub in the 84th minute of play and came up with his second goal in 16 appearances on the season. It marked his first shot on target in his last 11 league outings, and he also nabbed his first interception in six games. After staring in 22 games last season, Reinildo was sidelined for a large part of the 2023/24 campaign but closed the season by playing in 16 of the final 20 league games.

MAY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up goal against Almeria Reinildo assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Almeria. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th minute.

Impact Reinildo did brilliant work on the left flank and also nutmegged Marc Pubill before setting up Angel Correa for the opener in the second minute. He had a crucial defensive contribution with six tackles, two interceptions and two clearances. He missed a huge chunk of the season due to injury and only has six league appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed goal Reinildo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Reinildo found the back off the net four the first time since 2021, playing for Lille. The appearance was his second since returning from the African Cup of Nations and just his third appearance overall (two starts). Reinildo's minutes have been limited this season due to a knee injury. His main contribution to Athletico Madrid should be defensively. In the last two matches, he's amassed five tackles (five won), 11 clearances, and two interceptions.

JANUARY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Atletico Madrid Reinildo returns from national team duty with Mozambique and is training with Atletico Madrid ahead of Sunday's match against Valencia.

Impact Reinildo finished his time in the African Cup of Nations, starting all three group stage matches while logging in a goal. He will likely remain just a bench option for the team with just one appearances during the 2023/24 campaign.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out on international duty Reinildo is out on international since he was called up by Mozambique for the 2023 African Cup of Nations.

Impact Reinildo has struggled to see regular first-team minutes with Atletico Madrid this season, but he should be a regular for Mozambique in the AFCON. He should report back to Atletico once his team gets eliminated from the international stage.

JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option against Mallorca Reinildo (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Reinildo is making his debut this season after a long absence due to a knee injury, however, he is only on the bench in his return. The defender will most likely stay in this role for most of the season with the wingback roles already locked up between Samuel Lino, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Llorente, only getting starts here and there when the others need rest.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Close to returning Reinildo (knee) was seen training with the ball on the grass with his teammates Wednesday, per journalist Javi Gomez.

Impact This is good news for Reinildo, who could make a return as soon as this month after undergoing ACL surgery in February. He started all 22 matches back in 2022/23, but the defender will likely not jump into the lineup too soon until he is back to full form.

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Viewed running in training Reinildo (knee) was back in training on Tuesday, pictured running for the first time since ACL surgery.

Impact Reinildo is finally back on the training pitch after an eight-month absence. He has been slowly recovering from his ACL surgery but seems to be making bigger leaps in progress now after being viewed running on Tuesday. He is no doubt still a long way out from a return, but he will hopefully shoot to return before the end of the year.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Underwent ACL surgery Reinildo was subbed off due to injury in the 23rd minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Real Madrid. He generated one cross (zero accurate) before exiting the match.

Impact Reinildo (knee) suffered a gruesome knee injury against Real Madrid that forced him to come out in the 23rd minute of the match. It was later revealed that he had a torn ACL and had immediate surgery on his knee. This is a huge loss for the defender, having started in all 28 appearances with 77 tackles (51 won), 59 clearances and 35 interceptions in all competitions. Jose Maria Gimenez will likely move to the left back position with Sergio Reguilon continuing to recover from a thigh issue.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wins four tackles against Bilbao Reinildo made two blocks, two clearances and four interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Club. He also won four of seven tackles in the match.

Impact Reinildo helped keep his fourth clean sheet in his last five La Liga appearances on Sunday, and he's started all but one of Atletico's matches this season mostly from left-back.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exceptional in win Reinildo logged nine tackles (seven won), made four interceptions and stopped three shots during Saturday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Reinildo is probably the biggest reason why Atleti came away with a road win, as he was able to stop both Inaki Williams and Nico Williams and whomever else tried to press him down the flank. He's now kept three clean sheets in his last five starts between the league and UCL, racking up 20 tackles and 12 interceptions in that time. So long as the attack steps up their efforts, Reinildo has found his form and can offer good defensive value.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wins three tackles against Sociedad Reinildo made a clearance, three interceptions and won three of five tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad.

Impact Reinildo has burst onto the season since joining Atletico from Lille in January, keeping four clean sheets in 17 La Liga appearances (15 starts), plus another two in four Champions League starts during his first six months in Madrid. The 28-year-old immediately slotted into the starting lineup, mostly as part of a back-three, and he'll want to ward off challenges from Mario Hermoso and Renan Lodi to lock down his spot in his new club's XI next season.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Five clearances during start Reinildo logged five clearances across 90 minutes during a 2-0 win Wednesday at Elche.

Impact Reinildo logged Atletico Madrid's best clearance tally. The central defender is playing well enough to record consistent playing time alongside Stefan Savic and Jose Maria Gimenez.
