Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has professed to be unworried over
the unspecified injury which forced Cristiano Ronaldo off at half time
in Tuesday's 1-1 Spanish Super Cup draw with Atletico Madrid at the
Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Ronaldo had seemed back to full fitness when scoring twice in last
week's European Supercup win against Sevilla, with concerns he had not
fully recovered from the tendinitis issue in his left knee that affected
him through the end of the 2013-14 campaign.
The Portugal international however lasted just 45 minutes of the
season opening showpiece game against Atletico, being surprisingly
replaced at the break after another subdued showing.
The Italian coach told his postgame news conference that it was too
early yet to know the extent of the injury, which is thought to be a
left hamstring problem, but the early signs were not too bad.
"Cristiano had a strain and after the first half was not
comfortable," Ancelotti said. "We will evaluate it tomorrow, and do the
tests. At first it does not seem so serious."
