Blinded’ Ronaldo Out Of Portugal Friendly After Losing Sight In Both Eyes

Portugal will be without the services of playmaker, Cristiano Ronaldo when they engage Gabon on Wednesday in a friendly after ‘losing the vision in both his eyes’ following an elbow in the face during Real Madrid’s Sunday win over Levante.

Ronaldo was due to have tests at a Madrid hospital after being caught by defender David Navarro in the opening exchanges of last night’s clash.
Although Ronaldo returned to action after being patched up on the sidelines and even managed to score Real’s opener in the 21st minute, he was unable to return for the second half and coach Jose Mourinho said that his star forward ‘lost vision in both eyes and couldn’t go on’.
Ronaldo arrived at the Portugal team hotel in Lisbon on Monday but he will play no part against Gabon in Libreville.
