Ronaldo injured his knee early in Portugal’s Euro 2016 final victory against France back on July 10, and after being given some time off has been busy rehabbing the injury.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not play in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla on August 9 and is doubtful for Real Madrid’s La Liga opener against Real Sociedad 12 days later, according to manager Zinedine Zidane.
“Diego had pain in his back, so he didn’t train, and for this reason he doesn’t play”.
Zidane addressed the media after the match and confessed he has full intentions of hanging on to Morata this season after the player was re-signed from Juventus: “He’s a Madrid player, we’re delighted with him. Obviously we are in preseason, but we were was looking to see something more from the team and I’m happy with what we saw”.
“I want to win with this team, because it’s like a family”. If he stays with us he knows what he’s going to get. Conte also commented that the most important thing during the game was the right spirit within the team.
