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."
