Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has been ruled out of Portugal's crucial World Cup 2010 two-legged playoff matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina on November 14 and 18 due to an ankle injury. Portugal's coach Carlos Queiroz had wanted to call up the Real Madrid star for the two World Cup qualifiers, but in the end the Portuguese Football authorities declared Ronaldo unfit for the games. A statement from Portugal's football federation read: "The player is not in good enough physical condition to train with the squad ahead of the play-offs," And Ronaldo himself expressed his frustration with the whole situation: "It's really frustrating not to be able to help Portugal particularly at such a key moment like the play-off against Bosnia," he said. This is a huge blow for Portugal, as their main man will miss these two key World Cup 2010 qualifiers.
