He should be rested once in a while instead of playing 90 minutes in every game, especially now with his knee needing it and with James being back and ready to play along Benzema and Bale. Madrid would manage without him for a bit, although they likely want him to feature in el clasico after the international break ...
Hopefully he doesn't insist on playing every minute in both of Portugal's friendlies as that would be meaningless when there is nothing at stake and no player should risk getting injured just before one of the most important league matches of the season :/

Looking forward to the playoffs in the euro qualifiers though!
