Cristiano Ronaldo is doing everything he can to rejoin the (Real Madrid) squad as soon as possible.
A photographic feature in Marca documents the player’s daily recovery routine, based on double sessions, pool work and lots of drive.
The Portuguese player was injured on 10 October with a Grade I-II sprain on the internal lateral ligament of his right ankle and bone edema on the talus bone.
Marca say Cristiano’s goal is to be ready in time to play against AC Milan at San Siro. “I can’t wait to come back,” he says.

Cristiano Ronaldo could be out of Manchester United’s trip to Fulham on Saturday… after kicking some water bottles in a huff.
The Portuguese winger, 22, was angry at being subbed after 67 minutes of United’s 1-0 win over Lille in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
Ronaldo stormed over to the dugout, refused the offer of a tracksuit top and then kicked a pile of water bottles with his right foot. That is understood to have bruised his foot and he needed an ice pack on it while he sulked on the bench.
Ronaldo was given a precautionary cast to wear on the flight home.
He still had it on as he came through Manchester airport; and United boss Alex Ferguson will find out this lunchtime if the Portuguese star can play at the weekend.
