Real Madrid boss Ancelotti: No worries with Ronaldo fitness

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is satisfied with Cristiano Ronaldo's fitness.

Ronaldo is expected to start tonight against Elche, despite playing in the 8-2 rout at Deportivo La Coruna.

"He doesn't need to be rested yet. He is fine and we need him at his best because he is enjoying a great streak at the moment," said Ancelotti.

"He has to have the freedom to be able to follow his instincts on the pitch. The way the forwards are switching positions is great because it makes life difficult for opposition defences."
