Madrid on Thursday provide details on the nature of injury of the French striker, and has confirmed that Ronaldo is likely to back for the second leg of the Champions league against Manchester City on Tuesday.
“After tests today at University Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja, the player Karim Benzema has been diagnosed with [a] myofascial strained right hamstring,” the club said in a statement.
“Hopefully they can be in the second leg but we have to take it day by day for them,” Zidane said of the attacking duo after the stalemate in Manchester.

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos is confident that Los Blancos will qualify for the final of Champions league, after drawing 0-0 away from home.
“We had more chances in the second half and we played a lot better. We’re not completely satisfied. There were three opportunities to win the game. It would have been significant if we’d scored but now we have to focus on winning the next game,” he said.
“Manchester City are a good team but we’re playing at the Bernabéu and we believe we can win the tie. It doesn’t matter who the favourite is. The winner will be in the final. Everyone knows we’re good at home, we showed that in the quarters and we hope to do so again on Wednesday.”
