The coaching staff of Madrid's "Real" fears that the best player on the planet will not be able to help the team in perhaps the most important duel of this season.
On Saturday at 14:00 Lithuanian time, the match between "Real" and "Barcelona" will take place at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium. In case of victory, "Barca" could crush the hopes of the "white" team to defend the title of Spanish champions, so this battle is very important for Zinedine Zidane's coached team.
However, just before the "El Clasico" duel, the "white" camp received not the best news - after the FIFA Club World Cup, the team leader Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet trained with the team.
Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a muscle injury at the start of the tournament final, but continued the match and helped the team triumph in those games.
However, this injury also affected Ronaldo and the Portuguese has not trained until today. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to training, but works according to an individual program, and knowing that "El Clasico" is already in two days, the chances of the Portuguese to play are not one hundred percent.
It is possible that Cristiano Ronaldo will be left on the bench and will appear as a substitute, but other scenarios are not ruled out - Ronaldo may not recover in time for the match or, on the contrary, be ready for the decisive battle.
