Real Madrid are angry and say the injured player is not available
The trainer of the Portuguese national side, Carlos Queiroz, has called Cristiano Ronaldo to play in the World Cup qualifying matches against Bosnia on the 14th and 18th of this month.
The call comes despite the insistence from the Real Madrid doctors and a Dutch specialist, Niek Van Dijt, that the player needs to rest his injured left ankle for at least another two weeks. The specialist said he wanted to see the player again on the 19th.
Real Madrid are not happy at the reports and have said that if Queiroz wants to see the player, he will have to come to Madrid to do so. The Portuguese side meets to train for the games from today.
