The Spanish international is doubtful for Real Madrid’s derby fixture against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez after suffering from a leg strain.
Jose Mourinho will have to juggle his squad as Real Madrid make a trip across town for their next La Liga match. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 limped off the pitch as Madrid faced Real Zaragoza, and the Spaniard is likely to miss the game against Getafe.
It was reported that the 30-year-old is suffering from muscular strain in his right leg and Madrid’s medical team has refused to state his recovery time. However, it is believed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 will be out of action for at least a week.
The Spaniard joins Brazilian left-back, Marcelo, in the medic’s room. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 was injured in the final minutes of Madrid’s win over Zaragoza, but had to stay on the pitch as Jose Mourinho used up all of his substitutions earlier in the game.
Marcelo underwent further tests on Monday, to clarify his injury situation. It has been reported that the Canarinha international has a leg injury and can miss the match against Los Azulones.
Portuguese international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao, is likely to take Marcelo’s place in the first team line-up as Los Blancos take on the challenge of Getafe.
Ahead of the match, Getafe midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juan-Rodriguez-c19825, stated that they will need to have a perfect match in order to salvage anything from it.
Luis Garcia Plaza’s are the only team to beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the current campaign, and Rodriguez believes their intensity in the match will be the key to their success.
“We must continue to maintain the intensity they have shown in recent games. Over ninety minutes we'll have opportunities. They, with ball and without ball, are very dangerous, but we have to worry about our game and Madrid.”
“From today we are preparing for the meeting on Saturday. We are in the situation where we wanted when the league started. Now we want to maintain it," he said.
Getafe registered their second successive away win in Spanish top flight football. They are on a run of 6-matches-unbeaten streak, winning four and drawing two. Los Azulones have beaten Granada, Mallorca, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander and Levante, and find themselves
9th in La Liga standings.
