REAL MADRID FC

Cristiano Ronaldo is facing up to a month on the sidelines after aggravating an ankle injury while on international duty.

Ronaldo lasted less than half an hour of Portugal's 3-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Hungary on Saturday before limping off with a recurrence of an ankle problem.

The world's most expensive player has been troubled by a sprained ankle since Real's Champions League victory over Marseille on September 30.

He is now facing several more weeks on the sidelines.

"After a clinical examination and an MRI scan, it is confirmed the player has suffered a recurrence of his injury to his right ankle, a medial collateral sprain with inflammation in the bone," confirmed a Real Madrid statement.

"The estimated (recovery) time is three to four weeks."
