Jose Mourinho has said he is unsure whether Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to take part in tomorrow's Champions League match with Lyon.
Ronaldo missed Real's last two matches with a leg muscle strain and Mourinho said he would decide today whether the La Liga joint top scorer would play against Lyon.
"I need to consult the medical department for a final opinion and to hear how the player himself feels, his final feelings in training," Mourinho said at a news conference at Real's vast facility outside Madrid.
"I am not going to wait until tomorrow. I don't like deciding the day of the match. I like to have everything clear in my head the day before. If he is fine he'll obviously play but we have to wait a bit longer to see," the former Inter Milan and Chelsea manager added.
Real Madrid tickets are available now for fixtures including their Champions League game against Lyon (March 16th), El Classico against Barcelona (April 17th), and also the Copa del Rey Final (April 20th), also against Barcelona.
