Because of his financial troubles with the Spanish treasury and commitments to "CR7," Ronaldo will be skipping a series of upcoming matches, sources from the soccer club confirmed.

According to reports, Real Madrid’s star striker asked the team manager Zinadine Zidane for time to address his financial troubles with the Spanish government and a few days free following the team’s matches against Portugal in the Confederations Cup.

Ronaldo will return in a month in time for Real Madrid’s training camp and the two classic matches of Spain’s Super Cup against Barcelona.
