Real Madrid and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return from his 2-month injury layoff on Wednesday.
Ronaldo has been included in Real’s 23-man squad for their cruicial Champions League match against Swiss champions FC Zurich.
Ronaldo has not seen action for Madrid since injuring his right ankle in September and has missed all nine the Spanish side’s matches in that period.
The $130m signing from Manchester United recently offered his personal reassurences that he would soon return from his hiatus and, it appears, he has been true to his word.
The Portuguese star could now feature in the revered ‘El Classico’ at the weekend, in which Real will face FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
Before his injury, Ronaldo had been in scorching form, scoring nine times in his first seven matches.
Real sit atop La Liga, one point clear of their arch rivals from the Basque Country in Northern Spain but are by no means assured of qualification from their Champions League group as thei trail AC Milan on goal difference and lead Marseille by only one point.
