Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane both claim the knock isn't serious and Ronaldo will be fully healthy in time for the final, but neither of them are doctors so who knows.

From ESPNFC:

At Tuesday's practice, Ronaldo limped out after a clash with Dani Carvajal and backup goalkeeper Kiko Casilla late in a mini training game.

"I had a small problem in the training session, a 'sandwich' [bocadillo] as they say in Spain. But tomorrow or the day after I will be fine," he told reporters.

Ronaldo also said he is at his "best level" ahead of this weekend's showdown with Atletico in Milan.

Losing any player at this stage of the competition is bad news. Losing the leading scorer in Champions League history is really bad news. There simply is no way Ronaldo misses this game, but how effective will he be? Less-than-100-percent Cristiano Ronaldo is better than most players, but completely healthy Ronaldo is a monster capable of winning this game by himself. 

We'll see which one shows up. It may decide the biggest game of the year.
