Real ace suffers fresh hamstring woe
Real Madrid have suffered a blow with the news that Cristiano Ronaldo is facing a fresh spell on the sidelines.
The world's most expensive player only returned to first-team duty this week after missing two games with a hamstring problem.
The ex-Manchester United ace started against Lyon and Atletico Madrid, but has now suffered another hamstring tweak.
The £80million man complained of pain in his left thigh following the derby and he underwent medical tests, where the extent of the damage was confirmed.
According to a statement on Real Madrid's
official website, Ronaldo is now likely to be absent for "between two to three weeks, depending on his progress".
Ronaldo will miss Portugal's upcoming friendlies against Chile and Finland, and it remains to be seen if he will be fit for Madrid's league match against Sporting Gijon in a fortnight's time and their UEFA Champions League clash with Tottenham on April 5.
