Ronaldo injured? Cristiano puts rumours to rest in Real Madrid training

Real Madrid will breathe a little easier ahead of the Clasico after seeing Cristiano Ronaldo resume training on Monday in the build-up to the blockbuster clash with Barcelona.

The Portugal international was key in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Sporting Gijon, as he netted both goals to ensure the Merengue stay at the top of the table.

That joy was later tempered by rumours that Ronaldo had ended the clash in physical discomfort, immediately raising alarm bells with el Clasico on the horizon.

Those reports, however, appear to have been unfounded, as the striker showed no ill-effect from the weekend's game at Valdebebas.
