After a painful defeat in the Spanish championship to "Barcelona" with a score of 5-0, Madrid fans received even more bad news.

In the so-called "El Clasico" battle on Wednesday, the most productive forward of the "royal" club, Cristiano Ronaldo, did not participate in the team training due to a problem with his Achilles tendon.

On Saturday, Jose Mourinho's players face an important match against "Valencia", so it will only be on match day whether the Portuguese can take to the field.

Meanwhile, the main striker of the team, Gonzalo Higuain, suffers from back pain. Although official information has not been announced yet, according to the Spanish press, the Argentine may need surgery, after which the rehabilitation period could last from two to three months.
