Juventus confirm CR7 injury

Juventus have confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a minor thigh injury while on international duty with Portugal.

A statement released by the Italian club on Tuesday read: “Cristiano Ronaldo underwent tests in Portugal that revealed a minor injury to his right thigh flexors.

“He will be monitored and subjected to further tests to establish when he can return to competitive action.”

The 34-year-old was substituted midway through the first half of Monday’s Euro 2020 qualifying match against Serbia, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Ronaldo insisted he was not too concerned in his post-match comments, and Juventus have confirmed the forward has suffered only a ‘minor’ injury.
