After Lionel Messi, now Cristiano Ronaldo has joined the list of injured Spanish football stars. Ronaldo, who scored for Real Madrid in the 3rd minute against Almeria, had to leave the pitch in the 54th minute due to injury. The 28-year-old international, who showcased brilliance with Portugal against Sweden on Tuesday, sustained the injury while delivering a center. He was substituted by the young Jesé.
Ronaldo, accompanied by a club physiotherapist, headed to the locker room following the injury. Initial reports suggest it could be a muscular issue in his left leg. The unfortunate incident occurred on the same Almeria pitch where Lionel Messi, the star of FC Barcelona, suffered a thigh injury at the end of September. The injuries to both Messi and Ronaldo raise concerns for their respective clubs and national teams, emphasizing the physical demands and challenges faced by top football players.
