Unfortunately for Real Madrid and for Keylor Navas, the goalkeeper is not recovered yet from his injury and he can’t play against Osasuna this weekend. The Costa Rican was set to return after the national teams fixtures this weekend but he has still some medical problems and he won’t come back before three weeks from now.
Keylor Navas had surgery in his Achilles tendon back in June. After the surgery he had to be out of the pitches three of four months. However, Keylor Navas as working hard during the summer to try to come back earlier from his injury. Now he has suffered another blow and can’t come back before the estimated time.
According to the media, Navas doesn’t have a problem anymore in his Achilles tendon but he’s suffering pain at the moment. Both the doctors and the player don’t want to risk and prefer to wait until the goalkeeper is fully recovered so he can face an important season.
Initially he was set to return this weekend, along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe. Now, Keylor Navas has to wait at least three more weeks. He could be fit by the 24th of September, when Real Madrid will travel to Las Palmas or on the 27th, when Los Blancos face Dortmund in Champions League in Germany. The other option is to wait until the next time La Liga will stop for international fixtures. It will be the 2nd of October.
Zinedine Zidane doesn’t want to rush with Keylor Navas. At the moment, Kiko Casilla is defending the goal really well and he has been trusted by the managers. The former Espanyol goalkeeper will have to play in the following month and lead the Real Madrid defence line.
In the three official games Real Madrid have played this season, Casilla has received three goals, two against Sevilla at the European Supercup and one against Celta. However, the goalkeeper couldn’t do anything else in the goals and he’s been playing really well in the first important test for his career at Los Blancos.
I’d like to disagree with this point “However, the goalkeeper couldn’t do anything else in the goals and he’s been playing really well in the first important test for his career at Los Blancos. ”
The goal which RM conceded against Celta was clearly Casilla’s fault. He was way off his line, even when the attacker was being tracked down by defenders.
I don’t really like him in goal for the best club in the world. My prayers is to see the real magician comes bck soon. Hala madrid
In time Casilla will get better,for now he’s the only choice we have got…
In time Casilla will get better,for now he’s the only choice we have got,we have to be patient with him as he grow.
