Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini has the all-clear to play Cristiano Ronaldo in their next two games.

Real face a must-win Champions League date with FC Zurich, before they go to Barcelona for a huge top-of-the-table clash.

AS says Real GM Jorge Valdano and Pellegrini have drawn up plans to give Ronaldo 30 minutes against Zurich and then 45 minutes at the Nou Camp.

The Portuguese ace has only begun training this week and hasn't played since October 10.
