Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and defender Alvaro Arbeloa have missed training after picking up injuries in international matches, the club said.

"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," the club said in a statement on its website.

The club did not indicate whether the players were likely to miss the clash against Valencia.

Fourteen players had played for national teams, including Ronaldo, 26, who came back injured after scoring two of Portugal's six goals in their 6-2 demolition of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Euro 2012 playoff second-leg clash.

Arbeloa who missed Real's Champions League match with Lyon earlier this month because of a left thigh injury played for Spain in their 1-0 loss to England and its 2-2 draw with Costa Rica.
