The mother of Juventus star, Cristiano Ronaldo, has reportedly been rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke, according to reports.

Mum-of-four Dolores Aveiro, 65, according to local media, is ‘conscious and stable’, after she was admitted to Dr Nelio Mendonca Hospital in her native island of Madeira just after 5am Tuesday morning.

Metro quoted a local report that said she has suffered from the most common type of stroke known as ischemic stroke, which is an obstruction of the artery, preventing the passage of oxygen to brain cells.

Dolores had beat breast cancer after being diagnosed with the disease in 2007 and Ronaldo donated £100,000 to the hospital that saved his mum’s life two years later.

However, in February last year ahead of a trip to Italy to celebrate her footballer son’s 35th birthday she admitted to new health problems.

She told a Portuguese TV station in an interview: ‘I was operated on another breast in Madrid, I’ve had radiotherapy and now I’m fighting for my life.’

There has been no official comment from the hospital.
