Toni Kroos likely to miss start of Real Madrid season

Toni Kroos looks likely to miss the start of the new LaLiga season.

The Real Madrid midfielder has confirmed he has been suffering with a pubic bone issue. Madrid confirmed their player had been diagnosed with a pubalgia – a strain or tear of the soft tissue in the groin.

The 31-year-old took to Twitter to reveal that he has been suffering with the problem.

“After several month (sic.) of problems on my pubic bone I think it’s time to give it a rest and work on it to be well prepared for a long season. Back asap as always,” he tweeted.

Kroos has proven himself to be a durable member of the Madrid squad and has only missed 29 games through injury across seven seasons since his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu from Bayern Munich in 2014.
