Cristiano Ronaldo out for two more weeks: Real

MADRID -- Real Madrid's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo will be out of action for at least another two weeks, the club said Thursday, after a doctor in Amsterdam examined his injured ankle.

It said new tests by his former doctor, Cornelius Nicolas Van Dijk, “confirmed the diagnosis given by the medical team of Real Madrid obtained after MRI and CT scans” on Tuesday.

Dr. van Dijk will reexamine him in another 15 days, Real said in a statement on its Web site.

Dutch physician van Dijk, who has also treated Ronaldo's team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy and AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi, previously operated on the Portuguese winger in 2008.

Ronaldo, Real's record signing at 94 million euros, will definitely miss their Madrid derby meeting with city rivals Atletico on Saturday in the Primera Liga.
