Ronaldo's away day rests over as Madrid plan to unleash forward on Celta Vigo

Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that the Portuguese will take part in a crucial clash on Wednesday, having been rested on the road in recent weeks

Having sat out Real Madrid's last four La Liga away games, Cristiano Ronaldo will be in the squad when they take on Celta Vigo at Balaidos on Wednesday.

Head coach Zinedine Zidane has employed a rotation policy in recent weeks to keep his star players fit for key matches in the Champions League and the La Liga title race.

Ronaldo was rested in away games against Leganes, Sporting Gijon and Granada around their European quarter-final and semi-final ties, while the 32-year-old also sat out the midweek trip to Deportivo La Coruna that preceded the Clasico against Barcelona.
