Ronaldo limps out of training days before Champions League final

 

Cristiano Ronaldo limped out of Real Madrid’s training Tuesday morning, but insisted he will be fit for the Champions League final on Saturday.The Portuguese captain came off worse after a clash with goalkeeper, Kiko Castillas, during an open training session. He then hobbled back to the changing room, after being examined by medical staff.
Ronaldo, who was substituted at half time in Madrid’s last league match, has now failed to complete his last three training sessions.

However, the 31-year-old is adamant he will be ready for Atletico Madrid in Milan.
“I had a little scare… but in a couple of days, I will be fine,” he said.
“I’ve had a little problem, but having been the most used player this season that is normal.

“I think it’s the season where I’ve played the most minutes, and taking out this problem from training I am at my best.”

Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has already ruled defender Raphael Varane, out of the final.
He said: “The only major drawback, and that really is very serious, is Varane.
“He is now out for Saturday. He may not be ready in two or three weeks. It is less serious than we thought. He will travel but will not play on Saturday.
“With regard to the selection I hope he can play the Euros. It’s a blow for him and I’m worried about him.”
