I have every respect for that club . Real Madrid 's injured star forward Cristiano Ronaldo will not be fit for World Cup playoffs . The Portugal international has been ruled out of the tournament after suffering a thigh injury in training on Monday. Coach Carlos Queiroz selected him despite Real 's objections due to his ankle problems . Real let Ronaldo travel to Portugal for tests , where it was confirmed that he could not play .
