Salgado blow for Real

February 23, 2005

Real Madrid have been dealt a huge blow with the news that Michel Salgado has suffered a serious knee injury.

Salgado left the pitch after just nine minutes of Tuesday night's UEFA Champions League clash with Juventus, following a clash with Czech star Pavel Nedved.

Preliminary tests indicated knee ligament damage, which if confirmed, will rule the Spanish international full-bvack out for the remainder of the season.
