Cristiano Ronaldo back in Real Madrid training before Manchester City clash

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to training after recovering from a hamstring injury and the Real Madrid forward could be fit to face Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday.

Ronaldo has not featured since 20 April, but could return for the second leg having sat in the stands for last week’s 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

The 31-year-old Portuguese trained with his team-mates during the first half of Sunday’s session before working out on the pitch alone, said Real.

The striker Karim Benzema also continued his recovery from a hamstring injury and Álvaro Arbeloa – who has not played since early April – completed some running exercises.

Ronaldo leads the Champions League scoring charts with 16 goals this season, including a hat-trick in the quarter-final second-leg victory over Wolfsburg.
