RONALDO RETURNS TO REAL MADRID TRAINING

The Portuguese star has given Zinedine Zidane's side a boost ahead of the game at the Bernabeu on Wednesday as he steps up his recovery from a hamstring problem

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Real Madrid training as he battles to be fit in time for his side's Champions League semi-final second leg against Manchester City.

The Portuguese star has missed Madrid's last three games due to a hamstring injury but has taken to social media in recent days to show he is working hard to regain his fitness. 

Zinedine Zidane admitted prior to Saturday's 1-0 win over Real Sociedad that both Ronaldo and Karim Benzema were doubts for the clash with the tie delicately balanced at 0-0 after the first leg at the Etihad.

However, Real Madrid have now confirmed that Ronaldo, who is the top scorer in this season's Champions League with 16 goals already, is back in training as they begin their preparations for the clash at the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo's double helped Madrid negotiate a difficult test against Athletic at the Santiago Bernabeu, which saw the visitors cancel out his early opener through Javier Eraso before Aritz Aduriz rattled the crossbar. James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos scored to make it 3-1 before Raphael Varane's second yellow card, while Ronaldo and Gorka Elustondo were on target in the final stages of an entertaining contest.  'Ancelotti the best coach I've worked with' Ronaldo has often been used centrally at Madrid over the past year but Zidane believes his side were always likely to cause problems with him out wide. "We went looking for that because Cri...
