Will Ronaldo start against Newcastle on 11th September?

Ronaldo is a world-class athlete who rarely gets injured. As far as match fitness is concerned, Ronaldo played a game for Juventus last month and also played for Portugal in the international break. So lack of match fitness is certainly not a question to ponder. Considering Edinson Cavani has not been seen at the training grounds yet, it can be safe to assume that we should see the much-awaited return of Cristiano Ronaldo against Newcastle on the 11th of September.

Cristiano released early from International duty

Ronaldo recently overtook Iran?s Ali Daei to become the all-time top scorer in men?s international football. In the World Cup qualifier against Ireland, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace in the last 5 minutes to secure a win for his team. This brace also helped him notch up 111 international goals, thus breaking the world record. During this match, CR7 also received a yellow card for excessive celebration which subsequently resulted in the Portuguese being ineligible to play the next match. This forced the national team in releasing him earlier than expected. The ex-Real Madrid player immediately flew to Manchester and underwent 5-day isolation. After the period, Ronaldo joined the training ground at Carrington and started preparing with his new teammates.
