Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Juventus training with arm injury amid exit rumors

Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo made his first appearance of the season in the team's Serie A clash with Udinese at the weekend. However, the Portuguese could need to wait a number of days or weeks before appearing for the second time due to injury.

According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus' training ground on Wednesday with an arm injury. It has been revealed that the winger picked up the knock following a challenge from Alex Sandri and had to be taken off the pitch by the club's medical team.

The story mentions that the Portuguese might not be able to feature in the Bianconeri's next league game against Empoli this weekend as the injury is still being assessed.

It's been a few tough days for Cristiano Ronaldo. The 5-time Ballon d'Or winner came off the bench to score a late header against Udinese on Sunday. However, the goal was ruled out by VAR for being offside by a small margin. Ronaldo was also booked for removing his shirt to celebrate what he thought was the winning goal for his side. The match ended 2-2, with both parties sharing the points.

The attacker's goal was disallowed at the weekend.
