Real Madrid make decision on Thiago Pitarch after injury recovery

Real Madrid has decided that young midfielder Thiago Pitarch will play with the reserve team for a few weeks to regain his match fitness after recovering from an injury. Pitarch, who did not participate in the World Cup, helped the Spanish U-19 team win the UEFA European U-19 Championship during a memorable summer. However, he was unable to have a proper preseason with new coach Jose Mourinho due to this injury.

Pitarch is expected to return to the first team after the September international break, with the midfielder playing for Real Madrid Castilla against Alcorcon and Atletico Madrid, scheduled for October 2. Despite Alvaro Arbeloa's interest in signing him for Fulham, a transfer was ruled out. Up until now, Pitarch has been named in various squads but has not yet played a minute with the first team.

It is hoped that he will make the most of this international break and the chance to play with Real Madrid Castilla to return to his best level and provide Mourinho with another reliable option in midfield.
