Long road to recovery - of Real Madrid star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 – La Liga Special
Nuri Sahin is finally beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. This is the best news coming out of Santiago Bernabeu after Jose Mourinho’s transgressions took the headlines. Sahin now begins a period of retraining with the squad after a long hiatus
from competitive football.
The international break is welcomed with open arms by Los Blancos faithful, especially those who want to see Sahin in action. Preparations of the Turkish international have gone better than predicted as the midfielder starts his belated “preseason” training.
It is worth mentioning that the 23-year-old is now working at the rate of his peers, a delayed but much anticipated readmission to the first team fold.
He started his comeback away in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/China-c8926, alternating between solo training and with the group. However, he received a major setback when his problematic knee started to hurt again and consequently was left out of the squad.
Real Madrid authorities communicated that Sahin had a Grade II sprain of the medial collateral ligament in the distal third of his left knee. It was estimated that the Turk will return to the first team fold in three to four weeks. Nevertheless, the period
was mysteriously expanded to eight weeks. The proclaimed period is not over but this has not stopped Mourinho from feeding the press about his return, a period of two weeks from the start of October.
Sahin has undergone a strict regimen to strengthen his knee. The medical staff at Santiago Bernabeu found that the player needs to gain muscle to prevent further injuries. He was injured last season for the German club and his fortunes have taken a similar
turn for Real Madrid. Thus, the medics have taken it into account to make sure that he is not beset by similar injuries.
There are high hopes in Madrid regarding the youngest scorer of Bundesliga. He is the only incoming player of the summer transfer window yet to play for the Spanish giants. Irony of the situation is that compatriot http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamit-Altintop-c15652 has taken the bow before
him and is in contention to play again for Los Blancos. The pressure of being the only reinforcement and the only first team player remaining to debut should surely be mounting on him.
He has proven his talent in Bavaria and the only thing left is that he continues to do so in a Madrid jersey. He has a clear goal and it gets closer to achieve as the days go by.
While talking to Marca reporters, he talked about his short-term goals. "I have good feelings. I think I'm in the right place and I will be required. I cannot predict when I will return. The important thing is that we become strong and well".
The truth of the matter is that there is much anticipation within the ranks of the club and the locker room to see the former Borussia Dortmund player in action. He played his last match in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 on April 17, and has been plagued by injuries since then.
Madridista are eagerly waiting to see him dressed in the holy white jersey of Los Blancos.
This first thing on his agenda should be to regain match fitness and then build up on this. Getting a nod from Jose Mourinho is not an easy task and you have to earn your medals to achieve it. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Leon will testify to this statement.
His real test will not end with physical fitness, but only start afterwards.
