Zidane declares Ronaldo fit for Clasico
Zinedine Zidane has allayed fears over Cristiano Ronaldo's fitness, and the Ballon d'Or winner will face Barcelona on Saturday.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been declared fit to play in Real Madrid's El Clasico clash with Barcelona on Saturday after overcoming a calf problem.
Ronaldo sustained the injury during the Club World Cup final victory over Gremio and had trained alone as a "precaution", with the club insisting the 2017 Ballon d'Or winner would be fit for Barca's visit.
He was then pictured training alongside the rest of his team-mates as normal on Friday and Zidane confirmed in his pre-match news conference that Ronaldo is fine and will feature.
