Terrible news , daily Spanish newspaper reported within the pages of its website that Real Madrid's Ace player will miss the reminder of the season .

Ruud van Nistelrooy said goodbye to the season. The worst predictions have been confirmed and the Dutch striker will be between six and nine months away from the playing fields.the striker underwent an arthroscopy in Colorado in which he confirmed the problems suffered in the meniscus of his right knee, but it was discovered that it also has damaged the anterior cruciate ligament and cartilage of the knee, with the result that the campaign has been finished for him.

Real Madrid also confirmed the news saying

Following an exploratory arthroscopic operation on Wednesday, it was determined that Ruud van Nistelrooy had a partially torn meniscus in his right knee. Real Madrid's medical staff, Dr. Steadman and the player decided to surgically repair the damaged knee, by which he will miss between six and nine months.

This is a huge blow to the squad and yet another implication of Calderon's decision to not sign any players last summer . I hope Saviola would be step up for the call and really show his value and cover Van's absence .

I'll be updating the blog if anything comes up .

Hala Madrid
