According to the DFB it's a hairline crack in his fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot. It happened when they played CD Leganés on Sunday and was no impact injury.
Ffs, Modric just returns and we lose Kroos for our toughest month.
Sigh...
Sigh...
Sounds like some kind of fatigue fracture then. Wouldn't surprise me considering the insane amount of games he played over the last couple of years.
Indeed. Love love love Mariano, a gem of a player. Sarabia was particuarly good IMHO, a player to continue to keep an eye on. What is the status of Trémoulinas I wonder?On another day it could've easily been 3-0 to Sevilla or 3-3... crazy, chaotic game of football that was.
Sergio Rico made some brilliant saves, Mariano, Escudero, Sarabia and Vietto were all great I thought. Nzonzi great 1st half, disappeared in the 2nd. Vitolo the most dangerous and direct but just not able to finish it off.
For Barça, Mascherano was indeed a one-man defense at times. Messi unplayable 2nd half. Neymar the mirror image of Vitolo.
Redondo
A personal fav of mine, absolute class he was.
Different, but better imo, than Zidane
I think he was so undervalued by a lot of people, especially Real Madrid in the end. A class person as well, what he did at AC Milan when he got injured was unheard of. Extremely smart too, raised up in an upper class family, studied law, but ultimately decided on football.
But he is one player I could watch a lot of games of in a row because his style of play was just so beautiful to watch.
Casemiro
Modric --- Isco
Should do fine.Modric --- Isco
Casemiro has just started ball work and is probably still a long way off.
Kovacic in that DM slot is prob the go
Yeah, he has impressed me in his last game. We'll do fine, I also expect a fired up Ronaldo against Atletico.
Yeah just annoying, injuries so far this season include:
Ronaldo
Benzema
Modric
Casemiro
Kroos
Marcelo
Pepe
Ramos
Navas
Prob missed a few as well lol, just insane and we are still top of La Liga somehow and undefeated lol
@prarek
apparently your club is going to buy Miguel Veloso and a (italian) CF (e.g. Zaza, Lapadula, Gabbiadini) during the winter transfer window.

I can't wait to see the Madrid derby. Atletico have more firepower this season compared to previous ones.
Morata out for a month.
I don't see Atlético so concentrated as in previous years. Hopefully we can get points.

Something has to be done about these pointless November friendlies.
Yes,a pity, It seems that when a player is recovering we get some another injury. He don't be in el Clásico either
They are a better attacking side than they have ever been under Cholo. They aren't as reliant on one or two players to score goals anymore.
I think it will be a high scoring draw. 2-2.
Is this Javi Ontiveros fella a good talent?
Kameni to Barca is what Friedel was to us.
@SfcNervion
did you catch the match yesterday? I totally missed it. Great result and weird starting line-up. Fortunately they turned it around.

Oh, my. Almost from Malaga.
Barca getting massively robbed by the ref 
Barca score but incorrectly given offside. Seconds later Pique gets rugby tackled to the floor and no penalty.
Spanish referees are embarrassing.
One of the most blatant pens ever as well

The ref seems clueless. Even if you are wrong, at least act like you are sure of yourself in your decisionsBarca score but incorrectly given offside. Seconds later Pique gets rugby tackled to the floor and no penalty.

WHAT A SAVE!
Astonishing safe! 
Haha, Malaga somehow, by Gods grace, survive! Incredible. Kameni well and truly Freidel'd Barca!
The Malaga keeper is the best in the world! No one will convince me otherwise!
2 red cards and 4 extra minutes on top of the 4 minutes extra time, the refs once again doing all they can to get Barcelona the win, disgusting really.
Just glad Malaga were able to hold on

To be fair, Barca probably should've had a pen or two.
Barcelona lacked dynamite. Neymar did some nice dribblings but need to get more prominence in this kind of games. Gomes has to improve too.
I liked Diego Llorente before the red card.
Was offside in the goal of Barsa?

Also this amazing save
Just seen Barc's result, ffs. Hope RM drop points to.
This or X Factor? Hmmm............
Did you even watch the match ? The ref was biased against Barca even.
Yessss, just saw the score. Malaga, you fecking heroes!
