Report: Mourinho has cut Real Madrid's muscle injury problems

What happened

Mourinho has cut Real Madrid's muscle injury problems, according to AS. The Spanish outlet reported that muscle injuries, which had been one of the club's major concerns in recent seasons, have been brought under control since his arrival.

Report details

AS said that in previous seasons Real Madrid had repeatedly had to call on academy players despite having a squad of nearly 25 footballers, because injuries had left the team short of available players. The report described the situation as a plague of injuries.

The outlet added that only Valverde has missed a match so far under Mourinho. The report did not specify the period covered or provide further details on the injury record.
