MADRID: Cristiano Ronaldo has downplayed an injury sustained late in Real Madrid's win over Villarreal in the Spanish league.
The Portugal forward caused a scare when he left Wednesday's game before the final whistle limping with an apparent muscle injury in his right leg. He walked off the field by himself at the Santiago Bernabeu, leaving Madrid with 10 men and worrying fans.
Ronaldo posted an Instagram photo on Thursday saying, "All good. Thanks for your support."
The club said Wednesday that Ronaldo was expected to have medical tests as a precaution.
Real Madrid's next game is Saturday at Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish league. Madrid is one point behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with four matches left.
The team is also in the Champions League semifinals.
