Real Madrid will await the result of checks on Cristiano
Ronaldo's back injury before deciding whether he is fit to play in the second
leg of the Spanish Super Cup against city rivals Atletico on Friday.
He was substituted at halftime in Tuesday's first leg at the
Bernabeu Stadium, which finished in a 1-1 draw.
Ronaldo's replacement, the new signing from Monaco James
Rodriguez, put the European champions ahead with his first goal for the club
but Raul Garcia equalised.
"Cristiano felt something and was uncomfortable,"
Real's manager Carlo Ancelotti told reporters. "We'll evaluate it. He'll
undergo all the checks and we'll see. It doesn't seem to be anything too
serious."
Ancelotti's team, who have already won the European Super
Cup by beating La Liga rivals Sevilla, continue a busy start to the season by
playing their first league match against Cordoba on Monday.
