Real Madrid continues to suffer from injuries - recently Cristiano Ronaldo and Michel Salgado dropped out of the lineup, and yesterday defender-forward Julio Baptista joined the injured list.
The tough Brazilian suffered an injury on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League match against Trondheim "Rosenborg", which the Royal club won 4-1.
In that match, the Brazilian was substituted during halftime, and in a statement from "Real", it was stated that J. Baptista strained his left thigh muscles and will be sidelined for up to 5 weeks.
Due to the injury, J. Baptista will miss the return match against "Rosenborg" in Norway and up to five La Liga matches.
After a lackluster start to the season, J. Baptista surprised football experts with his excellent performances in recent matches. The main reason for this is the return of Frenchman Zinedine Zidane to the lineup, as "Real" coach V. Luxemburgo "repositioned" Baptista from the left flank to the center of the field.
