Cristiano Ronaldo in full Real Madrid training session ahead of Man City tie

Cristiano Ronaldo completed Monday's training session with Real Madrid as he stepped up his bid to be fit for Wednesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Manchester City.
Ronaldo sat out last week's goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium with a thigh injury, which also kept him out of Saturday's 1-0 Primera Division win at Real Sociedad.
However, the Portugal captain was back in training on Sunday, participating with his teammates for the first half before working individually for the remainder, and he was able to take a full part in Monday's session.
While the news about Ronaldo looks promising for Madrid, it is less clear whether Karim Benzema will be able to feature against City.
The France international was replaced at half-time in the first leg against Citywith a hamstring problem and was limited to running apart from the rest of the group on Monday.
Madrid midfielder Casemiro, meanwhile, worked inside after picking up a knock against Sociedad.

Incoming Chelsea boss already eyes double PL deal


Brtish media still claims that Chelsea lines up a huge move for Everton duo John Stones and Romelu Lukaku, according to the reports.
Chelsea have been strongly linked with talented centre-back Stones since the last term, during which the club had four offers reaching £37 million rejected by The Toffees. Then-manager Jose Mourinho was believed to be a keen admirer of the Centre-back, believing Stones to be the perfect long-term successor for departing captain John Terry.
Meanwhile, Belgian star Lukaku was earlier part of The Blues setup from 2011, although made just ten league games for the club. After a second term on-loan, the 22-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea and purchased by Everton for £28 million.
Despite this, tBelgian Powerhouse has excelled at Goodison Park, netting 25 goals in all tournaments this campaign.
The Blues Newly appointed manager Antonio Conte will be spending huge during the upcoming window, and rumours continue to circulate regarding potential approaches for Englishman and Lukaku. As with Mourinho, the Italian coach highly rates the 21-year-old star, despite a very inconsistent term, and would believe that an offer of £40 million would entice Everton to sell.
Belgian superstar would be harder to persuade, with the Belgium international wanting to upgrade to Champions League football, something that Conte cannot yet implement.

Jose Mourinho claimed Kevin De Bruyne was poor in training but he was the best on the pitch… he only wants to work with fully developed stars

Chelsea scout Piet de Visser has admitted he was angry when Jose Mourinho allowed Kevin de Bruyne to leave the club.

The Belgian midfielder only played nine times for the Blues before he was sold to Wolfsburg in January 2014.
But De Bruyne was a revelation in the Bundesliga and has arguably been Manchester City's best player since arriving at the Etihad Stadium for £55million in the summer.

Jose Mourinho did not believe De Bruyne was ready to play for Chelsea in 2014, according to Piet de Visser
The 24-year-old's success has led many to question Mourinho's decision to let him leave Stamford Bridge, but De Visser said the Portuguese boss told him De Bruyne didn't want to play under him.
'I was angry with Mourinho when De Bruyne left Chelsea,' De Visser told HLN Sport. 'We had some discussions. Then he would say: "Piet, I find it a shame too, but the boy wants to leave. He doesn't want to train under me anymore."
'I told him: "Yes, the boy wants to play. He's ready for it." I have tried to convince him of Kevin's qualities. But then Mourinho repeated: "Piet, he doesn't want to train."

De Bruyne was brought to Chelsea from Genk by Andre Villas Boas in January 2012, but was sent on loan to Werder Bremen the following season by Roberto Di Matteo.
The Belgian scored 10 Bundesliga goals in the 2012-13 season, but when he returned to Chelsea Jose Mourinho was in charge and the young midfielder was competing with the likes of Frank Lampard, Oscar and Eden Hazard for his place in the team. 

Nevertheless De Visser, who helped bring Brazilian greats Romario and Ronaldo to Europe, believed he was good enough to play - but he says the manager disagreed.
'I went to see a training session,' De Visser said. 'Kevin was the best player on the pitch. Look, Mourinho is a performance focused manager who has achieved a lot in his career. He wants to work with fully developed players.
'He thought Kevin needed one, maybe two years. But Kevin was ready. And Kevin was convinced he was ready too.'

Cristiano Ronaldo in race to be fit for Real Madrid's Champions League tie v Man City

Cristiano Ronaldo will miss Real Madrid's game against Rayo Vallecano this weekend to give him time to recover from a hamstring injury
Cristiano Ronaldo has suffered a thigh muscle injury, but Real Madrid have given no indication if he will be fit for their Champions League tie away to Manchester City.
The 31-year-old came off the pitch moments before the final whistle duringMadrid's 3-0 La Liga victory at home to Villarreal on Wednesday night after falling awkwardly.
Madrid, who are one point behind both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in La Liga with four games to play, face a trip to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday before Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first-leg clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Real coach Zinedine Zidane confirmed Ronaldo will miss his side's visit to Rayo to ensure he will be fit for the clash at City.
"He won't play against Rayo. He'll stay at home and we'll see for the next game," said Zidane.
"He wanted to play tomorrow, but he knows that it isn't possible. We've had to put the brakes on him and he knows his mind has to be on City."
Previously, Ronaldo had played every minute of every league game this season for Los Blancos, but there were fears he could miss some of the title run-in.
However, a statement from Madrid read: "Following tests carried out today on Cristiano Ronaldo in the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital, he has been diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right thigh.
"His recovery will continue to be assessed."
The former Manchester United player has scored 47 goals in 44 games for his club this season.
