Cristiano Ronaldo, victim of a blow to the calf last weekend, did not take part in Real Madrid's collective training this Thursday; but he did have a role on social media. The star posted a striking photo on his Instagram.
Dressed entirely in black, with his arms forward and wearing shiny jewelry; Cristiano Ronaldo presented himself like this on his official Instagram. The player from Real Madrid accompanied the image with a playing card symbol.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, the only scorer in the final of the Club World Cup won on Saturday against Gremio (1-0), received a calf injury from Pedro Geromel in that match in Abu Dhabi.

Returning to Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo stayed in the gym on Tuesday and Wednesday.
His return to training this Thursday, even if it was alone, is good news, according to the sports newspaper 'As', which spoke of simple "precautionary" measures regarding the star.
