Madrid's leader Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped out of the lineup for three weeks due to an ankle injury.

The 25-year-old footballer got injured during the weekend Spanish league match against Mallorca.

It means that C.Ronaldo will miss the start of the Portugal national team's European Championship qualifying tournament. Their first matches are at home against Cyprus and away against Norway.

The forward will also not play in the first Champions League group stage matches against Ajax Amsterdam.
