Real Madrid

The Medical Staff has determined that Diarrà is in excellent health. The player will sign his contract at the Santiago Bernabéu and will be officially presented at 13:00 CET.

Lassana Diarrà arrived at Santias Hospital at 9:15 am and had his medical examination after posing for the media with the doctors that greeted him.

The player had a blood test, after which he had breakfast. He then met Metzelder, who was also at the clinic. X-rays, electrochardiograms... Real Madrid's Medical Staff did every test in the book and their results couldn't have been better. "The player's health is exceptional," said Carlos Díez, Chief of the Medical Staff, "He is perfectly fit to play. He is very excited and would already be working if it weren't for the Christmas break."
