Ronaldo checks out after injury check-up

The Portuguese forward missed Tuesday night's match in Dortmund and last weekend's visit to Real Sociedad.

Cristiano Ronaldo underwent several tests at Madrid's Sanitas La Moraleja clinic early on Wednesday afternoon to check on his recovery from his knee injury. The Portuguese forward missed Tuesday night's match in Dortmund and last weekend's visit to Real Sociedad because of the injury and Real Madrid are anxiously awaiting the results of the tests.

'Los Blancos' boss Carlo Ancelotti had hoped to be able to call on his talisman for the upcoming clash against Almeria, but this view was revised when CR7 was forced to pull out of training ahead of the Dortmund game and he is now a major doubt for Saturday's league fixture.
