Real’s Isco to miss derby
Real Madrid midfielder Isco is set to miss the city derby against Atletico Madrid on Saturday after surgery for acute appendicitis.
The club announced on Tuesday that Isco was set to have an operation but included no time-frame for the 26-yearold’s recovery. “After the tests carried out today on our player Isco, he has been diagnosed with acute appendicitis,” a Real Madrid statement read. “The player will receive treatment in the coming hours.” Real face a trip to Sevilla in La Liga on Wednesday before hosting rivals Atletico.
