Argentine defender sidelined with injury
Sky Blue International http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Garay-c13071 is reportedly going to be sidelined for a month following an injury which he suffered in the Classico against Benfica.
The centre-back was called up to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 in Bern and while Alejandro Sabella’s men emerged victorious, Garay damaged his knee in the process and complained of physical problems after the game.
However despite his ailments, he was a part of the Reds’ squad that took on Porto at Estadio da Luz with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus taking a major gamble on his fitness.
The tactician has earned a lot of accolades for his managerial ability but this time he seemingly made the wrong call, as the former Real Madrid hobbled off the pitch and is now set to face a month without any football action.
His importance to the side is immense and it will be a big blow to them that he isn’t playing in what is the season’s most crucial phase. He will also reportedly undergo surgery to cure the problem but regardless will be out for the best part of 4-5 weeks.
The Onion refuses to sign on
Uruguayan International http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Rodriguez has allegedly stalled contract negotiations and is not willing to commit his future to Porto.
The winger has found his chances limited at Estadio do Dragao following the emergence of James Rodriguez as a first choice starter and the terrific form of a certain Brazilian.
After being loaned to Gremio, he has out rightly refused to pen another deal at the helm, as his game time has become increasingly scarce.
While the 26-year-old has a lot of talent on his side, he just can’t match the attacking prowess of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 and the blossoming potential of James Rodriguez, with both of them having establishing themselves as first choice starters.
With his International career at stake, Rodriguez is determined to sign for a new side and should be able to engineer a move to another European team, given the considerable experience he has amassed over the course of the last few years.
However for Porto this means a hefty loss on investment, as they won’t receive any transfer fees when the player joins another team on a Bosman transfer.
