Ronaldo back in training

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to training at Real Madrid. whilst his country's World Cup hopes hang in the balance (and rest on Nani's shoulders), Ronaldo has returned to Madrid to start working with the ball.

In spite of being called up for Portugal, he failed the fitness test. Now, after a few weeks of simple physio and gym work, he has returned to kicking a ball around.

Playing with the other Real Madrid players who aren't on international duty, Ronaldo was mixing it up with short passes and big shots, and even spent some time after the usual training to get his free-kick taking back into shape.

That Barca come-back looks like its on!
