Cristiano Ronaldo has assured his supporters that he will ‘come back even stronger’ for Real Madrid this season.
The three-time Ballon d’Or winner was carried off on a stretcher in tears during Portugal’s successful Euro 2016 final victory over Spain earlier this month.
The 31-year-old, desperate to help his team-mates, showed his managerial instincts later in the game; barking tactical instructions to the rest of players alongside Portugal manager Fernando Santos on the sideline.
Reports in Spain claim that the 31-year-old suffered knee ligament damage as a result of an over-exuberant challenge from France’s Dimtri Payet, an injury that is likely to see him miss that start of Real Madrid’s domestic season.
‘Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank all my fans,’ Ronaldo said in a video on his Instagram account.
‘I wanted to tell them that all is well and that I will come back much stronger. Thank you, long live Portugal!
Currently away on holiday, Ronaldo can be seen enjoying the sun with his left knee strapped in a heavy brace as he bids to return to full fitness.
Although no official date has been set for his comeback, Spanish newspaper Marca claim that Zidane will not be able to pick Ronaldo for at least his first three La Liga fixtures
