Ronaldo answers Real Madrid SOS

Ronaldo answered Real Madrid's SOS as he arrived back in Madrid following a spell in Brazil recovering from injury.

Real want their star man to continue his rehab in Spain with a view to playing the Brazilian in the November 19 clash with Barcelona.

"It's a tough injury. It isn't easy, but I am recovering," Ronaldo told reporters at Sao Paulo airport on Wednesday night.

"I'm returning to Madrid to continue my rehabilitation."

Ronaldo suffered ligament damage against Atletico Madrid two weeks ago.
