Sneijder Earmarks October Return

Saturday, 06 September 08, 10:36 AM

Real Madrid’s Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder could make his comeback from injury as early as October as his recovery appears to be well ahead of schedule.

Sneijder damaged his interior cruciate knee ligament against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup almost exactly five weeks ago in preseason and the initial assessment was that he will be ruled out for the remainder of 2008.

But according to Real Madrid’s astonished medical team, they are now predicting that the Oranje playmaker could return in three to four weeks’ time, if he can maintain his current rehabilitation rate.

The midfielder has spent the last ten days in the gym but his injured left knee is already almost as strong as his right and by next week, he should be able to resume normal training on the field.
His remarkable persistence and work ethic has been key to the speedy recovery. Working double sessions almost everyday, Sneijder has said during rehabilitation that “there is no way I will be out for three months”.

If all goes to plan, Schuster should be able to recall the 24 year old for the game against Espanyol on the 5^th of October, although the club doctors will be cautious not to rush him back too soon.

No Grudges Against Robinho - Casillas

Saturday, 06 September 08, 05:09 AM

Spain’s goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas says that he does not hold any resentment towards Robinho after the Brazilian superstar decided to leave Real Madrid. Robinho caused quite a ruckus at the Real Madrid camp during the summer when he made his now infamous public pleas to leave the Santiago Bernabéu. He was eventually allowed to leave to sign for Manchester City but the club’s goalkeeper, Iker Casillas confessed that he does not have any ill-feelings towards the 24 year old. “It is not something I am pre-occupied with because it’s all in the past. Every player decides on their own future and Robinho has chosen to leave Real Madrid,” the Spanish international captain revealed during La Selección’s press conference. “I am grateful for what he has done for the team and I wish him all the best in Manchester City,” he added. Casillas was then asked if Robinho’s exit coupled with the club’s failure to sign their intended targets, such as the player who was sitting next to him in the press call, David Villa, has disrupted the squad dynamics. “I don’t think it has changed anything. And I do not believe that these players said no to Real Madrid." “They all want to come but obviously, there are negotiations and it is necessary to come to an agreement first,” he theorized. Real Madrid saw their jinx at the Riazor continue last weekend when they slumped to a 2-1 defeat. The league will resume next Saturday at the conclusion of the International break and Los Merengues will welcome newly promoted Numancia to the Bernabéu cauldron.
