LISBON: Cristiano Ronaldo does not think that the injury that forced him to leave the Portugal match against Serbia on Monday is dangerous and told reporters that he was planning to return to court in a week or two.
Ronaldo was injured in the first half of Portugal's Euro 2020 qualifier for what appeared to be an injury to the thigh muscles. The match is over 1-1.
"I will know more in 24 or 48 hours," Ronaldo said. "It happens in football." If I went out in the rain, I would be humiliated. I'll be calm and I'll be back in a week or two. "
If Ronaldo misses a long time, it will be a blow for Juventus, who joined Real since Real Madrid last year to boost his hopes of winning the Champions League title.
Juventus will face Ajax Amsterdam in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on April 10, while the return match will be held six days later.
Ronaldo and his coach Fernando Santos confirmed that the referee had excused himself for not having inflicted a penalty in Portugal after a handball.
The referee granted the penalty initially and then withdrew. The auxiliary video rule is not used in European qualifiers.
"It was very clear and the referee had to calculate it, the flag rule was 40 meters, so it looks very strange."
Santos added: "After that, we followed the shot in the players' room and we did not hesitate to count it in. It was a penalty … I apologized."
