Madrid - Real Madrid are very worried about the ankle injury of star winger Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, 24, suffered what appeared to be a badly sprained right ankle on October 10, when playing for Portugal against Hungary.

He has not played since and Real's results have suffered in consequence.

Late on Wednesday Real announced that Ronaldo will travel to the Netherlands to be examined by specialist doctor Van Dijk, the expert who operated upon Ronaldo's battered right ankle on 7 July 2008.

Ronaldo flew off to the Netherlands early on Thursday, amidst concern that the injury might be more than a severe sprain.

Sports daily Marca claims on Thursday that the Portuguese winger will be out for around another month if he does not need another operation, and for around three months if doctor Van Dijk decides that another operation is necessary.
