Real Madrid star Ronaldo winning fitness battle

Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo is winning his fitness battle to make their trip to Athletic Bilbao.

Ronaldo grabbed a double in Tuesday's 3-2 Champions League defeat to Galatasaray, giving Jose Mourinho's side a 5-3 aggregate win to set up a semi-final against Borussia Dortmund.

Ronaldo picked up an injury late on in Turkey, and sat out Thursday's training session.

But he was involved in Friday's session at the club's Football City base and looks set to feature at San Mames, where Madrid clinched last season's title.
