Ronaldo injured Madrid draw

Ronaldo injured Madrid draw

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo was forced off
after just eight minutes of Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw
with Real Valladolid with a hamstring injury.
The Real Madrid star had been pictured holding his
left leg and talking to boss Carlo Ancelotti during a
training session on Tuesday.
And the decision to risk him just 17 days before
Real take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions
League final appeared to have backfired as he
limped off against Real Valladolid.
Ronaldo’s team-mate Gareth Bale had earlier been
ruled out of the game because of injury.
Ronaldo came off in the eighth minute at the Jose
Zorilla Stadium without showing any clear signs of
being in pain, just moments after his long run
through the opponent’s half came to an end when
he clashed with a defender.
Real Madrid took the lead after a stunning Sergio
Ramos free-kick but saw their title hopes suffer a
devastating blow after Humberto Osorio grabbed a
late equaliser for second-from-bottom Valladolid.
The Portugal international had recently been troubled
by a knee and muscle injury in his left leg, but had
returned to play in Madrid’s Champions League
semi-final triumph over Bayern Munich.
Ronaldo has scored 50 goals this season in all
competitions, including a league-leading 31 goals.
