Carlo Ancelotti says that either Angel Di Maria or Jese Rodriguez will replace the injured Cristiano Ronaldo in Wednesday’s Champions League group clash with Galatasaray at the Bernabeu.
Ronaldo had to be substituted during Madrid’s 5-0 La Liga win at Almeria on Saturday, and tests subsequently revealed a minor thigh injury. Although the club did not specify a timeframe for the injury, local media reports suggested he could be sidelined for three weeks as he recovers from various knocks picked up during a busy schedule for club and country.
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini seemed not to realise his team were one goal away from claiming top spot in Champions League Group D during their 3-2 win over Bayern Munich.
