Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is a major doubt for Wednesday’s Copa Del Rey final against Barcelona with a hamstring injury.
The Ballon d’Or winner, 29, has missed the Spanish club’s last two matches because of a knee problem.
“Tests have detected that Cristiano Ronaldo has a muscular injury to his left hamstring. Pending developments,” says a Real Madrid statement.

The Portuguese winger might also sit out Real’s next league game against Almeria.
Ronaldo Was Among the Scores as Ten-Man Los Blancos Lost 4-3 to Barcelona in Last Month’s El-Clasico.
Ronaldo himself said “we have to be patient” regarding his knee injury’s progress, after missing his club’s fourth successive progress to the semi-finals of the European Champions League at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.
The ‘Los Blancos’ boss Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, was upbeat about his star player’s situation. He said: “Ronaldo is improving. If it was anything serious, he wouldn’t have been sitting on the bench, but putting him on would have been taking a risk.
“He will continue resting for the next few days and I think he’ll be ready to play some part Almería game.”
