CRISTIANO RONALDO’S hopes of returning from injury to play in
Real Madrid’s Super Cup clash against Sevilla have been dashed.
The Portugal captain was forced off in the first half of their Euro 2016 extra-time victory over France following a challenge from
Dimitri Payet.
Madrid teammate Marcelo spoke how he was “hopeful” that the three-time Ballon d’Or winner would make a return to the side ahead of the Super Cup on August 9 but Ronaldo has quashed any speculation of a dramatic recovery.
“I am completely ruled out for the European Super Cup on the 9th because I aim to be back for the 10th.” he told
Spanish press.
Zinedine Zidane will also be reluctant to rush back the 31-year-old who had a gruelling summer with his national side.
