edit: like, he didn't seem injured v. Germany. his runs toward the ref to complain about calls were quick and finessed.

Portuguese doctor tells Cristiano Ronaldo playing with knee injury could be career-threatening

quote:

Cristiano Ronaldo‘s doctor is reportedly pleading with his patient not to play in the World Cup.

For the players, the injury must be serious to keep them from playing in the world’s biggest event. But according to the doctor, it is.

With MRI’s showing serious pressure on the patellar tendon in his left knee, experienced Portuguese surgeon Jose Carlos Noronha has warned Ronaldo that playing on it could risk tearing the tendon beyond repair.

Dr. Noronha, known for performing top-level ACL repairs and other knee operations for soccer players, believes Ronaldo needs two months off from the game immediately if he wishes to fully repair the injury to his knee.

According to quotes in El Confidential, the doctor told Ronaldo, “let your knee rest, or your future is in danger” to which Ronaldo replied, “I’m the one that says whether I’m playing or not.”

Ronaldo left training early yesterday with his injured knee wrapped in ice, just as he did in the build-up to Portugal’s 4-0 defeat to Germany, in which Ronaldo looked less than healthy.

It remains to be seen whether he’ll start against the United States. If Portugal loses that match, they are eliminated from knockout-round contention.

I do not buy it. I think Ronaldo will play regardless. I doubt he will be at 100%, which could be huge.

ETA: I may be wrong. That would be crazy. I really hope Ronaldo does not have that bad of an injury. It would be a shame to lose the best player in the world.
