Real Madrid Ace Cristiano Ronaldo Trains In Secret - Report
The Portuguese star is reportedly doing some light training already...
The Merengues are determined to keep Ronaldo under their protection to prevent him from further aggravating an ankle problem which has kept him sidelined for over a month now.
Carlos Queiroz wants to use Ronaldo for Portugal's World Cup playoff against Bosnia-Herzegovina despite Madrid officials claiming the 24-year-old is not yet fully fit.
The Spanish outfit confirmed yesterday that the gifted winger will rest for a period of two weeks before consulting Dutch specialist Niek van Dijk in Amsterdam on November 20.
However, Portuguese news daily, O JOGO indicates Ronaldo did some running exercises during Madrid's training session on Friday, which was not open to the public or media.
Such news is expected to encourage Queiroz to call up the former Manchester United star, who will have to report for international duty on Monday in Obidos should he be included in the squad.
