Cristiano Ronaldo to return with Real Madrid in tomorrow's match

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo WILL play against Osasuna tomorrow night despite suffering an ankle injury less than TWO weeks ago!

Cristiano suffered an injury on his ankle after being tackled in the Real Madrid 0-0 draw with Mallorca and doctors said he would be out for 2-3 weeks meaning that he missed Portugal's two Euro 2012 qualifiers. However 10 days after suffering his injury, Mourinho believes that he is fit to start in the match tomorrow night.

"Cristiano Ronaldo will be a starter," Mourinho told Madrid's official website. "I am afraid of the possibility he may get injured again. I am afraid someone may hit him, but that's normal in football.

"He has been training at least five hours a day at Valdebebas. The medical staff and the player say he's 100 per cent fit to play, so he has the same risk of getting injured as the rest of his team-mates"

"He will play because he is fit and because it will be a difficult game. I know what team I will use tomorrow. I think seriously about it to come up with the best option. Players have to think about one game at a time, but the coach has to be capable of looking ahead"

Well I am certainly pleased! Mourinho wouldn't send him out if he wasn't 100% so Good Luck Cristiano! xxx

Cristiano Ronaldo - Time Force Watches Event - 8th September 2010

Cristiano Ronaldo was at an event promoting Timeforce watches last night in Madrid.

If you remember last month he posted behind-the-scenes pictures of his ad promoting them on his facebook and twitter pages.

While there he spoke about Madrid's current season and insisted that they would win some trophies and be more successful than last season.

"The goal is always the same: to win. We have a very good team and I am sure that if we work hard and have a little luck then we will win a title or two this year," the Portuguese attacker was quoted as saying on the official Madrid website.

"I will try to score as many goals as possible this year, but I will also provide assists and help in any way I can. Sometimes goals aren't what count. "I am always motivated and I want to win every game I play. I always have the same goal: to play well, help the team and win. I want to continue improving. I am a champion."

He also spoke about coach Jose Mourinho saying:

"I enjoy the pace of training sessions. I love the coach's methods and I am sure that he will give us a good chance of winning. He is one of the best managers in the world and we will do everything in our power to win. Mourinho is a winner. I am very happy to work for him. I am sure we will win a title this year."

Cristiano Ronaldo Latest Injury Update

Cristiano Ronaldo is pushing himself to be ready to make his return to the pitch for the Los Blancos' opening UEFA Champions League fixture against Ajax on the 15th September. After 10 days of indoor training and recovery Cristiano was seen back on the field training on his own this morning.

As everyone knows, he picked up an ankle injury in Real Madrid's opening game of the Spanish season against Mallorca and was expected to be out for at least three weeks, but could be about to beat the doctors' predictions to return a week early.

According to AS, Ronaldo spent the past 10 days in the pool and the gym to overcome the swelling he had on the affected area. That was the first stage and now he is apparently well into the second stage of his recovery which is working out on the pitch alone. This is according to AS a crucial test as he will be testing his ankle to see how it responds to the training.

However if nothing goes wrong then he could take part in a full training session with his teammates by the end of the week.

Did Wayne Rooney take a jab at 'friend' Cristiano Ronaldo?

Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney was under fire at the weekend over claims that he cheated on wife Coleen. A prostitute named Jenny Thompson has claimed that she slept with him over a number of months last year while Coleen was pregnant with their now 10 month old son Kai.

An interesting titbit from the story is that she claims that Rooney branded former teammate Ronaldo a  "f****** w*****",  "We were at a party one night and when Ronaldo walked past, and Wayne muttered it," The Sun quoted Thompson as saying.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were well famed for having one of footballs finest and most oddball "bromances" over the years as Manchester United teammates.

However their friendship seemed to come under strain at the 2006 World Cup when Rooney (who was playing for England) fouled one of Ronaldo's (who was playing for Portugal) teammates and Ronaldo protested to the referee much to the anger of Rooney who was then sent off.

However after the game they claimed to still be friends despite sources from Man Utd claiming otherwise.

Personally I don't believe it's true, Ronaldo moved to Madrid in June and this prostitute claims that is when she met Rooney. I highly doubt Ronaldo has gone back to manchester in the past year that he has moved . I could be wrong but I think she has just been reading the tabloids and picking up on them to dramatise her story.

Yes, i know it's only a small little article but it's a slow news week and I wanted to give you something lol xxx

Jose Mourinho hits back at Cristiano Ronaldo diving allegations

Jose Mourinho has hit out at claims that Cristiano Ronaldo is a diver.

The Real Madrid coach was speaking at a UEFA coaches forum in Switzerland when he said that honest players such as Cristiano do not get sufficient protection from referees and match officials.

He said that Ronaldo was honest due to his time playing for Manchester United under the wing of Alex Ferguson.

AS have quoted him as saying "Cristiano is a player who does not have the culture of the swimming pool, he has no culture of simulation, he is a British-trained player, Ferguson trained,"

"In some cases, the simulators are given more protection and those who are honest are often the losers. I'm not a hypocrite if I say that they [defenders] hit Cristiano very hard, and that the yellow cards do not arrive or are slow in coming."

Meanwhile Cristiano today announced his plans to play in the September 15th match against Ajax.

Cristiano was injured on Sunday after being tackled during Real Madrid's game against Mallorca and since then he has been working six hours a day at the Real gym on his injury. It was announced on Monday that he would be unable to play for up to three weeks but today Cristiano insisted he would be back earlier saying

"I will try to reduce delays. I am working hard for it,"

We're all rooting for you Cristiano, Get Well Soon xxxx
