The Portuguese full-back picked up an injury during the game against Ajax during the midweek and the Real Madrid medical squad has revealed that the injury sustained by the player is not too serious.
Fabio Coentrao has been added to the list of players who are currently injured at the Santiago Bernabeu and that definitely adds up to the problems being faced by the Portuguese mentor, Jose Mourinho.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 boss is already without the services of his first-choice left-back, Marcelo, and has now lost the former Benfica star, Fabio Coentrao, to a hamstring injury.
Just when it seemed like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao is going to settle himself in the Real Madrid first-team, he picked up another injury which is going to sideline him for a little while.
The Real Madrid medical squad has revealed that the injury sustained by the Portuguese full-back is not a serious one and he will be back in action in no time.
Jose Mourinho will most definitely rest him during the upcoming La Liga game against Valladolid so that he does not aggravate his injury.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan boss is going to have a lot of problems in the left-back role.
Real Madrid have already lost http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Essien-c25294, the two players who could easily slot into the left-back role.
Now, Fabio Coentrao is also out injured and Mourinho is going to have all sorts of trouble in the left-back position.
The best way out for Jose Mourinho, at the moment, is to play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 and the young French defender, Raphael Varane.
The four above mentioned defenders are definitely not the best that Jose Mourinho can field, but they can definitely aid Madrid to win a game as they already have a strong midfield and strike-force, one which can outscore most of the team in La Liga.
Another option is to play Raphael Varane as a left-back, as the young French defender used to play in that position back when he was in the French league.
