Ronaldo Out of Portugal Squad With Eye Injury

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo suffered the above eye injury during a 2-1 win at Levante on Sunday.  In the third minute of the match Levante defender David Navarro caught Ronaldo in the left eye with his elbow, resulting in the bloody injury.  Ronaldo would continue and eventually score a goal in the match, but he was eventually subbed out at halftime.

According to Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, Ronaldo had trouble seeing out of the injured eye throughout the first half, and then by the halftime break we was dizzy and having trouble seeing from either eye.  He was due to undergo medical tests upon his return to Madrid.

The bad news extends to Portugal's national team, as the injury has forced him to withdraw from this week's international match. They'll play Gabon in a friendly on Wednesday, but I'm sure both Portugal and Real Madrid would rather have him get the medical help he needs.

The Puddle wishes Ronaldo a speedy recovery and return to the pitch.  It's truly a gruesome injury.
