Mourinho waits on recovering Ronaldo for Real’s Lyon test

JOSE MOURINHO was unable to shed any light on whether Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo would be fit for Real Madrid’s Champions League clash against Lyon tonight when he briefed the media yesterday.

The £80 million striker, 26, damaged his hamstring in the 7-0 thrashing of Malaga on March 3, and at the time of the injury, the club stated he would be sidelined for between 10 and 15 days. Mourinho must now decide whether Ronaldo is ready to feature for the nine-time European champions, with the tie well poised at 1-1 from the first leg.

He said: “I don’t know whether he is going to play or not. We’ll wait until the final training session to decide. I will leave it to the medical department to decide. If he is well, he will play. But you’ll have to wait a little.”
