Madrid:
Ronaldo will be sidelined for up to two weeks with a leg injury, Real Madrid's team doctor said.
The Spanish league's leading scorer suffered muscle damage to his left leg in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Osasuna, Alfonso del Corral said last night.
Osasuna goalkeeper Ricardo Sanzol challenged the Brazilian ace in the 24th minute, causing him to limp off the field at Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
He was substituted by midfielder Borja Fernandez in a move that has been the focus of media criticism, as Madrid went on to collapse at home to mid-table Osasuna.
Ronaldo will miss the crucial Madrid derby against Atletico de Madrid next Saturday, and may miss the much-awaited clash with FC Barcelona on April 25. (AP)
