MADRID - Real Madrid midfielder Ruben de
la Red will miss the whole of the 2009/10 season as doctors have
still not pinned down why he collapsed in a match in October, he
said in a newspaper interview published on Wednesday.
"What I have doesn't have a name and as of today there is no
concrete answer," De la Red, 24, told Marca sports daily, adding
he still hoped to make a comeback at some point.
The former Spain international was running back towards the
halfway line when he suddenly fell face first and lay
motionless. He was taken off on a stretcher and regained
consciousness in the dressing room but has not played since.
