Real Madrid coach Zidane: Ronaldo not at risk

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says playing Cristiano Ronaldo against Manchester City is not a risk.

The Champions League second-leg will be held on Wednesday night with the score locked at 0-0.

Zidane said: “Cristiano is not a risk, he is well, he is training and he is 100%. We'll see in the game tomorrow but today he is 100%.

"His recovery isn't a question of two days, it's been a week. He's recovered bit by bit. He is a player who is like that, he recovers quickly and he looks after himself a lot. We need Cristiano at 100% and the good thing is that he is always on the field. He's a different player and his statistic show that. I would have liked to have also had Casemiro and Karim, but others will play and we will do well."
