Real Madrid duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Arbeloa missed training on Wednesday because of injuries they picked up on recent international duty.

The Spanish giants made the announcement on their official website but did not reveal whether the pair would miss their Primera Division clash with Valencia at Mestalla on Saturday.

"Cristiano Ronaldo did not train due to a strain in the adductor muscle of his left thigh and neither did Arbeloa, who is suffering from a strain in his left hamstring," reads a statement from Madrid.

Ronaldo featured for Portugal in their 6-2 victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina in the second leg of the Euro 2012 play-off tie in Lisbon on Tuesday and scored two goals to see the Iberian nation through to the finals.

The 26-year-old also played in Portugal’s goalless away draw with Bosnia in the first leg last Friday.

Arbeloa played for Spain in both of their latest friendly internationals - a 1-0 defeat to England in London on Saturday and a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica in San Jose on Tuesday.

Madrid are currently in pole position in the Spanish top flight with 28 points from 11 matches, three more than defending champions and bitter rivals Barcelona.
