8 Real Madrid footballers that are always injured

Gareth Bale

The football player that Real Madrid paid around 100 million euros for is struggling to fit in, he has shown a few moments of greatness, but he's spent more time being off the pitch than on it. The doctors don't want to pressure him, but this is the sixth injury he has suffered from since he joined Real Madrid. 

Fabio Coentrao

This left back footballer cost 30 million euros and he didn't give up until the very end. His main problem was his lack of continuity due to his injuries, only allowing him to play in 10 consecutive games. He suffered from a total of 15 injuries.

Nuri Sahin

The German midfielder spent his time at Real Madrid without any trouble of fanfare. He arrived with the intention of becoming one of the best footballers in the world, but he ended up spending more time at the doctors than on the pitch. 

Kaká

67 million euros were paid as a deposit for this disappointing footballer. The Brazilian player had plenty of opportunities with Real Madrid, but he only took three of those opportunities. His mysterious groin strains and other injuries led him to play only 33% of the possible minutes that he could have played. 

Hamit Altintop

The Turk didn't cost anything and Mourinho trusted him from the offset. But, he ended up spending more time injured than actually playing. He only played 12% of the time that was available to him. He gave back his salary after the first season. 

Arjen Robben

He may be super talented, but sadly his knees are just too delicate. The Bayern footballer has at least been a bit more reliable. He joined the club costing Real Madrid a whopping 36 million euros and has suffered from 10 muscular injuries in two seasons. 

Cristoph Metzelder

The German footballer decided to retire due to his injuries, but it must be said that Real Madrid suffered more than he did. He only played 31 games in three seasons due to problems of fitting in with the team and his injuries. 

Jonathan Woodgate

He arrived injured, remained injured and left injured. What's more, Woodgate was off the pitch for 452 days and only played for 889 minutes. Real Madrid paid 20 million euros to sign him.
