Robson Da Souza Robinho has travelled to Austria with the rest of the team. A medical examination determined he is injured on his pubis, promting Real Madrid to ask the Brazilian FA to allow the player to miss the Olympic Games.
Robinho joined the team in Real Madrid City this morning for a mild training session and to undergo an analytical test. The Club's medical staff observed the player is injured on his pubis. Based on the staff's reports, Real Madrid believes the best thing for the player is to join the rest of the squad during the pre-season in order to undergo a specific recovery programme supervised by the Club's medical staff.
Real Madrid have contacted the Brazilian FA via fax explaining the injury and requesting the player's absence from the national squad list for the Olympic Games.
