Madrid leader Cristiano Ronaldo suffered an injury in Friday's match against "Malaga", but should not be out for long.

According to an official statement from the Spanish team, the Portuguese player felt pain in his Achilles tendon and decided not to take any risks, heading straight to the locker room.

"When I scored a goal, I felt pain in my supporting leg. Since there are many important matches ahead, I decided not to take any risks," said Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored three goals in the devastating 7-0 victory.

Coach Jose Mourinho was also not too concerned, stating: "I don't think we need to dramatize. Most likely nothing serious happened."

On Sunday, "Real" will face "Racing" in a match. It is speculated that the Portuguese player may not appear in that game.
