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

Real Madrid is in a lot of trouble ,  Diarra joins the sick bay with De La Red Robben , Torres and V.Nistelrooy . 

Diarra has strained his left thigh  as stated by RealMadrid.com  

Following an MRI, it was determined that Mahamadou Diarra has a Grade I strain to his left femoral biceps. The midfielder is expected to return to action in two to three weeks

On another matter , V. Nistelrooy  headed for the US today to undergo examination after suspicion of him injuring his meniscus in his right knee.  V. Nistelrooy joined by a member of the medical staff of the club will see Dr. Steadman , who operated on the striker's right knee in 2000.  There is no doubt in my mind that now Calderon will wake up and act in  January because the team needs so many new players because we could be in the verge of a crises .. Lets just hope for the best !
