Ronaldo vows to return stronger from injury

Cristiano Ronaldo said that he intends to come back stronger for the upcoming season despite the injury he sustained while playing for Portugal in the title clash of their victorious Euro 2016 campaign.

The Real Madrid striker, who played a key part in leading his country to a maiden major title, limped off in tears with a knee injury in the first half of the final against hosts France earlier this month.

The 31-year-old has a sprained ligament in his left knee, and Spanish sports daily Marca reported that he is unlikely to return to action before Real's third game of the domestic La Liga season. The season starts on August 21.

"Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank all my fans," Ronaldo said in a video on his Instagram account.
