Midfielder to miss rest of campaign after suspected heart anomaly

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has revealed that midfielder Ruben de la Red will miss the rest of the season. De la Red, 23, collapsed during Real's 3-2 Copa del Rey loss at Real Union in October with a suspected heart anomaly, although the player is still undergoing tests to determine a definitive diagnosis. The Primera Division champions already have striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and midfielder Mahamadou Diarra sidelined for the campaign with knee injuries. "I can't remember a situation like the one we are in right now, with three players sidelined for the entire season," Calderon told Spanish television station La Sexta.
