Real Madrid’s star striker Cristiano Ronaldo may be sidelined against Spurs in Champions’ League clash
The most prolific player of Santiago Bernabeu has picked an in injury in the sensational 7 - 0 victory over Malaga. The Spanish Primera Division game was played last Thursday evening and the official Madrid website confirmed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 sustained
an injury to his left hamstring.
The club’s website has affirmed that Ronaldo’s inclusion in the final squad, against Tottenham in the Champions’ League clash, is in doubt.
The club further stated, “After a medical control and scan at the Sanitas hospital, Cristiano Ronaldo is suffering from a first-grade lesion to the hamstring in his left leg. The player will be out for three weeks.”
The Portuguese playmaker asked to leave the pitch immediately after he scored the third goal of the game in the
77th minute, leaving his team to play with ten men as coach Jose Mourinho had already utilised his three substitutes against Malaga.
In a post - match press release, Jose Mourinho said that the muscle injury to Ronaldo could be dangerous, stating that ‘Ronaldo’s injury is not a drama.’
According to reports in Spanish media, in a post-match briefing, the 26-year-old Ronaldo was quoted as saying, "I hurt myself when I scored my third goal. I didn't want to risk anything with all the important games coming up so I limped off. The injury doesn't
seem to be too serious though.”
He further added, “We were winning the game and there was no need to take any risks. That's why I left the pitch. However, I don't think I'll be able to play against Racing Santander on Sunday."
The injury blew the Portuguese’s chances of playing an international friendly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871. It’s also highly likely that he would miss the match against Sporting in two weeks. And what’s more important for Jose Mourinho is that his man could
also skip the vital clash against Tottenham on April 5.
It would be terrible blow for the La Liga giants losing their £ 80 million striker, who has scored
27 goals so far in the league this season. He is the Liga’s joint-top scorer along with Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. Madrid’s striker, Gonzalo Higuain, is in second place with seven goals and Argentinean Di Maria is third with six goals.
