Cristiano Ronaldo's Career Is At Risk

Monday, November 9, 2009 -- Spanish giants Real Madrid have claimed that superstar Cristiano Ronaldo could be seriously damaging his career if he plays for Portugal against Bosnia & Herzegovina at the weekend.

The Portuguese star had been injured since playing for Portugal against Malta but has been called to the national squad for the World Cup playoffs this weekend.

Madrid have now released a statement saying that they won't let the player leave for this weekend's international round of games. A club spokesman has been quoted by Marca as saying:

"Cristiano Ronaldo will not travel to Portugal. He will not be leaving here. On Monday we sent all the medical test results to the Portuguese Federation, with our results and those of Doctor Niek van Diyk in Holland, which clearly state Cristiano Ronaldo is injured and cannot play."
