Soccer: Ronaldo passes ankle tests, to return soon


Associated Press

MADRID — Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to resume full training after passing medical tests on his injured ankle.

The team says Ronaldo will maintain his rehabilitation program until Friday when he will take part in a regular training session with the squad. Madrid did not say whether the Portugal forward would be available for Saturday’s league match against Racing Santander.
The 24-year-old Ronaldo was examined on Tuesday.
Ronaldo could return for the Champions League match against FC Zurich on Nov. 25. Defending champion Barcelona leads Madrid by one point in the standings.
Ronaldo hasn’t played since Portugal’s match on Oct. 10, when he aggravated the injury.
