Portuguese star trains alone due to thigh injury
Cristiano is still working hard to be match fit for the game against
Borussia Dortmund. That said, he is still training alone. On Sunday,
having won the derby, Real Madrid took its first training session
focussed only on Tuesday’s game.However, CR7 has been preparing the upcoming European battle at the Bernabéu for much longer, specifically since the day after the defeat in Dortmund. Cristiano felt a twinge during the warm-up prior to the first leg and he has been wrapped up in cotton wool since then, focussed solely on the return leg. Mou was not taking any risks and rested him for the derby.
Since last Thursday, Cristiano has trained fully focussed on the match against Lewandowski and co. On Sunday, the Portuguese exercised alone alongside physical trainer Carlos Lalín. He laced up his boots and exercised with the ball. It was a very intensive training session, which made it clear that Cristiano would play in the all-important game no matter what.
However, at the end of training, CR7 gave both the medical and coaching staff yet another scare. He complained that he was still feeling some discomfort in his damaged thigh, which is worrying. Cristiano is going to play against Dortmund, but his desire to help out his team before being fully fit could still cost him dearly, especially taking into consideration that there are little more than two weeks until the Spanish Cup final.
