adríd "Real" coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that team leader Cristiano Ronaldo will have to miss the UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday.

Tomorrow, the Spanish vice-champions will face Istanbul's "Galatasaray" club. In group B, the "royal" club is confidently leading and a positive result in Madrid would open the way to the quarterfinals.

The captain of the Portuguese national team suffered an injury in the weekend match against "Almeria." C.Ronaldo had to leave the field when he severely collided his thigh.

"Cristiano will not play tomorrow, as he is slightly injured. He will be replaced by Angel Di Maria or Jese Rodriguez," confirmed the coach from Italy.

Additionally, C.Ancelotti spoke about the upcoming match: "We watched the 'Galatasaray' game against 'Juventus' and saw their strengths and weaknesses. Their team is well balanced, so it won't be easy."

C.Ronaldo has already scored eight goals in the four matches played in this Champions League season.
