Real Madrid boss Mourinho: I will not risk long-term Sahin fitness

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho says he won't force Nuri Sahin's debut.

The former Borussia Dortmund star is yet to make his Real debut due to knee trouble.

"We do not know whether or not to risk Sahin, he is working hard to improve the strength in his legs. Last season he ended with a ligament problem in the other knee and is a guy who must work hard in the gym.

"We are ten or fifteen days from the championship and we're not going to risk anything. We have a small squad and we cannot afford risks."
