He may be enduring a rather disappointing UEFA Euro 2016 campaign, but Cristiano Ronaldo still remains an integral figure for Portugal. As a result, news of an injury concern regarding the national team captain would come as a huge blow.
Thus reports that the 31-year-old superstar hurt his knee during training will have fans sweating. The three-time Ballon d’Or felt discomfort in his left knee and was forced to call an early end to Tuesday’s training session, as Portugal prepare to face Wales in the semi-final on Wednesday.
The Real Madrid attacker was pictured clutching his knee as he sat on a bench in the dugout. He wasn’t attended to by the team doctor, which suggests that it was nothing serious. Regardless, supporters will be waiting on confirmation of Cristiano’s participation in the last 4.
Ronaldo, who became the first player in history to score in four consecutive European Championships, has only two goals and an assist to his name in the ongoing tournament.
Although it remains unlikely that Cristiano will miss the clash with The Dragons, should he be unfit to start or even feature all together, the Blancos ace could join team-mate Pepe on the sidelines.
Portugal’s press officer revealed that the center-back is a doubt for the semis, which could leave the back line exposed and in danger.
