Real Madrid offer Ronaldo update to ease Clasico fears

Real Madrid have moved to ease any fears that Cristiano Ronaldo may be forced to sit out a Clasico clash with Lionel Messi and Barcelona.

It had been suggested that the Portuguese superstar could miss Saturday’s eagerly-anticipated La Liga encounter at Santiago Bernabeu through injury.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been forced to work away from Zinedine Zidane’s main group during preparations for the biggest fixture in the Spanish top-flight.

Goal, however, revealed earlier on Thursday that Real remained confident that there talismanic forward would feature against Barca, and the club’s latest training video suggests Ronaldo will be raring to go.
