Real Madrid coach Ancelotti plays down Ronaldo injury fears

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists Cristiano Ronaldo's leg injury is not serious after their Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.

Ronaldo was substituted in the 80th minute of the 3-0 quarter-final first-leg victory at the Bernabeu after receiving treatment on the pitch for what looked like a problem with his left knee.

However, Ancelotti does not think it is anything serious, saying after the match: "He was bothered a bit by his knee, we needed to defend and to avoid any risks, we've substituted him. It's not a problem. He isn't injured."

Ancelotti did say, though, that they would not take any chances with the Portugal international, adding: "We'll see how it goes. At this moment we're not concerned by the niggle. If it continues, naturally we'll rest him but we're not thinking about that because the player is calm."

"There's not a problem at the moment."
