We wrote recently, the start of training camp that this year Cristiano had taken great care not to exercise great demands on his right ankle. The goal was to virtually disappear for the inconvenience that occasionally came dragging last season.

During the preseason games and, especially, in testing done by the Madrid, we saw the Portuguese forgotten his ankle, making all kinds of movements, turns and hitting the ball with the force we are accustomed.

However, in the first league game against Mallorca took a big hit at the internal compartment of the right ankle. At the end of the encounter the discomfort increased and the inflammatory process was evident, which forced the club's medical services white to make studies using magnetic resonance imaging yesterday. Behind them again detected a severe contusion of the medial malleolus, along with bone edema in the affected area.

Soon. A priori, the bruise is not important and it is hoped that a two to three weeks then return to be on the pitch.

Christian is a star player, bringing the environment around high voltage is always to make your recovery as quickly as possible. However, in this case must be very cautious and not put pressure on the player. And is that a new bone edema over an area liable to the same previous injury can become chronic pain. If so, the player would have occasional discomfort throughout the season, which would reduce their athletic performance.
