Real Madrid's Thiago Pitarch sidelined for two months with knee injury

Summary

Real Madrid midfielder Thiago Pitarch is expected to miss 6-8 weeks due to a knee injury sustained during a training session. The 19-year-old was one of the few players who returned early from international duty after helping Spain win the U19 European Championship. With key teammates Eder Militao and Rodrygo Goes already injured, this setback complicates attempts for Pitarch to find regular game time, as Real Madrid had hoped to arrange a loan for him. He is not anticipated to return until September, impacting his development and potential exit plans.
