Real Madrid camp is unstable as Cristiano Ronaldo hobbled out of training just four days before the Champions League final amid concerned looks from teammates.
Ronaldo went up for the ball with Madrid’s reserve team keeper Kike Casilla and fell down in a heap. When he didn’t get back to his feet he was attended to by several member of Real Madrid’s medical staff and finally hobbled away from the training pitch with ten minutes left of the session.
The clash did not seem serious but as he walked off, he angrily three down a water bottle and looked less than happy as he headed for the dressing room. The incident came during a full-bloodied 10-a-side training match on a reduced size pitch.
In an earlier clash Alvaro Arbeloa and Danilo clattered into each other. Speaking before the session Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admitted Ronaldo also sat out a full training match on Saturday but described it as a precaution. Ronaldo had played every minute of every game of Real Madrid’s season until the run-in when a niggle to the back of his right thigh ruled him out of several key games.
Madrid sources say this time the injury is to the front of his left thigh and while not considered serious means his preparations for the game of the season continued to be hampered by setbacks.
