    AS report it to be three weeks.

    3 weeks is what I am hearing with a possibility of 2, although I don't know why we would risk him coming back early.

    Groin injuries are tricky so I think he'll definitely be out at least two weeks maybe up to a month or more. His first season here he had some trouble shaking a groin injury (right around this time as a matter of fact, he came back in that return leg against Lyon at the Bernabeu) that left him sidelined for longer than was anticipated.

    So will Mourinho call Morata up during the duration? I don't know much about Real Madrid Castilla, but I heard he scored a nice goal not so long ago.

    It will either be him or Joselu. My money is Joselu who is currently the top scorer of their division.

    Joselu. When ever he has come on for us he has performed quite well considering. Even notching a goal or two.

    Except the fact that Joselu is leading the scoring has nothing to do with it.

    Morata has been the better performer playing as a SS and even on the wing on occasion

    I'd be surprised if we see either one called up in any official capacity instead I think we'll see the likes of Callejon and Kaka getting more minutes and Jose just adjusting the formation as necessary, as long as everyone else stays healthy I think he'll go with what he's got. Castilla has their own "business" to attend to so I don't see a reason to call up either of those two players just to ride the bench when they could be concentrating on earning promotion at this point. Add to that the impact of Benz's absence should be lessened by the fact that there is a FIFA break coming up as well so if he recovers closer to 2-3 weeks he might conceivably only miss a couple of games.

    I think Jose will call either one up to the squad. Whether they make the bench to replace the seat Benz would take is another story.

    Should give Pipita a good run in.

    Pipa will get the lion share of the PT and Calleti will be getting whats left. I don't see the need to call up a Canterano to be honest. Ricardo plays the hybrid forward role pretty well too. With Angel coming back into the lineup i don't think we'll need anybody other than Calleti and Ricardo as Pipa's backups.

    According to Marca Angel is going to be out another month :mad:

    Still I don't see a need for Joselu or Morata; on the bright side I guess we're going to be fresh for the run-in eh? Benz, Angel and Altintop will recover just in time to lead us to CL glory :D

    Joselu or Morata can learn something by sitting on the bench or travelling with the squad.

    Would call up Joselu. Different kind of player than Pipita, strong, can hold the ball. . Morata is the exact same player as Higuain.

    I was just wondering, i assume he can fully grow his hair right? He just adopts the skin fade style? That pic looks immense, no homo but damn he's a looker in his own way.

    Yeah, Benz just doesn't do it for me....I love him though, that's my boo :D

    Were there any other gratuitous photos of French NT players where you got that pic from FC? Like Gourcuff or my new fave Giroud? :D
