Ronaldo to miss AC Milan match with ankle injury

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Cristiano Ronaldo will not recover from an ankle injury in time for Real Madrid's Champions League match at AC Milan next week.

The Spanish club says a medical exam Wednesday showed the Portugal winger's right ankle had improved but not enough to return for Saturday's Spanish league match against Getafe.

Madrid says on its Web site that Ronaldo would undergo another medical test next week. Madrid plays at the San Siro on Tuesday.

Madrid has lost three games without Ronaldo, including Tuesday's Copa del Rey match against third-division club Alcorcon. Ronaldo sprained his ankle in a win over Marseille last month, and aggravated the injury during World Cup qualifying.

Both Madrid and Milan each have six points in Group C with three games to play.
