Ronaldo has passed a fitness test on a thigh injury and is included in Real Madrid's squad to face Celta Vigo in the Primera Liga at the Bernabeu on Saturday.

The striker sustained the injury in Brazil's 5-0 win over Chile last weekend, which saw the five-time world champions secure their place in next year's World Cup finals in Germany.

However, Ronaldo will miss Real's opening Champions League match at Olympique Lyon next Tuesday because of a two-match ban for being sent off during the defeat by Juventus last season.

With France midfielder Zinedine Zidane out for three weeks due to a groin strain, Real coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo could hand Brazil forward Robinho a place in the starting lineup alongside Raul and Ronaldo against Celta.

Luxemburgo has included new signing Sergio Ramos and fellow defender Jonathan Woodgate, who has been out with a thigh muscle injury since joining Madrid a year ago, in his 19-man squad.
