Portugal and Real Madrid Super Star, Cristiano Ronaldo will return for Real Madrid in the league after observing a 5 match ban, his first game will be against Real Betis on Wednesday.
His absence was most keenly felt in profligate Madrid displays in dropping points at home to Valencia and Levante.
Ronaldo showed Real what they were missing with a double against APOEL Nicosia last midweek.
But his enforced absence could yet benefit Madrid as it did last season when a delayed start to the campaign through injury meant a fresher Ronaldo hit top form in the final months of the season, scoring 10 goals in the Champions League from the quarter-finals on.
“I hope it is for the last game this season,” said Zinedine Zidane at the prospect of missing Ronaldo for Sunday’s vital 3-1 win at Real Sociedad as the European champions got back to winning ways in La Liga.
