Real Madrid make decision on Thiago Pitarch after injury recovery

Real Madrid make decision on Thiago Pitarch after injury recovery Although he did not participate in the World Cup, the Real Madrid youngster Thiago Pitarch still had a memorable summer this year as he helped the Spanish U-19 team win the UEFA European U-19 Championship. However, he was unable to have a proper preseason with his new coach, Jose Mourinho, because of an injury. The youngster has only now recovered from this injury, and would now be looking to regain his sharpness before club football resumes after the end of the September international break. However, Los Blancos seem to have some special plans to ensure he returns to his full fitness during this time. According to Diario AS, the club and the player have mutually decided that he will play with the reserve team for the next few weeks to regain match fitness. This temporary measure will continue till the end of the international break, after which the midfielder will return to the first team. In fact, Thiago played 63 minutes in the match against Sant Andreu, even providing the assist for the only goal of the game, scored by Yanez. Going forward, he is also expected to feature for Real Madrid Castilla in the games against Alcorcon and, most importantly, against Atletico Madrid, which is scheduled for October 2. After that, he will return to train and play with the first team, as Jose Mourinho was very clear during the summer that he wants the Spaniard in his squad. Thus, a transfer was ruled out even though Alvaro Arbeloa was very keen to have him in his Fulham team. Up till now, Thiago Pitarch has been named in the squads for the games against Inter Milan, Rayo Vallecano, Elche, and Atletico Madrid, but has not played a minute with the first team. Hopefully, he will take full advantage of this international break and the opportunity to play with Real Madrid Castilla to get back to his best level, and provide Jose Mourinho with another reliable option in midfield.
