Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo looked set to be fit to face Sporting Gijon this weekend after he returned to training today.

The 26-year-old suffered a sprained ankle earlier this week and was thought to be doubt for Saturday's game after missing training.

But Madrid confirmed on their website today: "Cristiano Ronaldo rejoined the squad in this morning's training session in preparation for Saturday's match against Sporting Gijon."
