Ronaldo Set To Face Barca

Real Madrid striker Ronaldo has recovered from the leg injury sustained nine days ago against Osasuna and is likely to face Barcelona in 'El Derby' on Sunday.

The Brazilian will increase his training throughout the week, and barring some misfortune, will line up at the Bernabeu on Sunday evening.

"If there are no setbacks we think he will be able to play against Barcelona," doctor Juan Carlos Hernandez told the club's official website.

Meanwhile, Ivan Helguera is expected to play in central midfield in place of the more attack-minded Guti.
