Portugal team doctor fears for Ronaldo's Euro 2016 chances

Dr Nuno Campos said that if reports suggesting Ronaldo had suffered a hamstring injury were true, the forward would need a break or risk another injury setback that could force him out of the summer tournament.


Campos explained that the significant risk for the 31 year-old is that he could aggravate the injury further and risk missing the rest of the season for Los Blancos and Euro 2016.

"If [he does play against City], a micro-tear is susceptible to aggravation and there is a risk for the European Championships," the doctor told newspaper Record.

Real face Manchester City on Wednesday in the second-leg of their Champions League semi-final encounter with the game evenly poised at 0-0.

"If the diagnosis is a micro-tear [Ronaldo] needs between 18 to 21 days [of rest]," Campos added.
"[Micro-tears] need 12 to 14 days to heal completely and an additional five to seven days for muscle recovery work, it would be less if [Ronaldo's injury] was just a contracture.

"If that's the case, that will not stop him playing against City."

Gun Background Checks in February Were the 3rd Highest Ever

February was one of the biggest months on record for gun background checks , according to new FBI data. The number of background checks conducted by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System on people trying to purchase a firearm hit 2.6 million in February, down from a high of 3.3 million in December 2015, according to the FBI. February’s background check total was the third largest in history, also falling short of the 2.7 million conducted in December 2012 after the deadly mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School . The FBI noted that the number of background checks does not directly correlate to the number of firearm sales.
