Real Madrid to Miss Xabi Alonso for 10 Weeks

Real Madrid will miss the service of their Summer signing Xabi Alonso for at least 10 days as the midfielder sustained a right leg injury during Madrid’s 5-2 victory away at FC Zurich in Champions league. The Spanish international could not even stay on the pitch throughout 90 minutes because of the injury. So, it is pretty much certain that Alonso will be sidelined for Real Madrid’s upcoming home and away matches against Xerez and Villarreal respectively.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s German international Christoph Metzelder has also been sidelined for 3 weeks after picking up a calf injury.
