Ronaldo out of Madrid derby but should be ok for Dortmund

MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo picked up an injury in Wednesday's 4-1 Champions League defeat at Borussia Dortmund and is out of Saturday's La Liga match at city rivals Atletico. The Portuguese international has a "muscle problem" but the club are hopeful he will recover in time for Tuesday's semi-final second leg at home to Dortmund, assistant coach Aitor Karanka told a news conference on Friday. "Before the Dortmund game he had physical problems and he won't be in the squad (on Saturday)," Karanka said.
