Real Madrid fans got some good news recently – after a brief pause for precautionary reasons, Cristiano Ronaldo has been allowed to return to the game, and will be joining his teammates along with Gareth Bale for the match against Villarreal. The two stars have already resumed their full training, and will be taking full part in their team’s preparation for the upcoming game.
Meanwhile, Luka Modric might also be coming back, after a four-month pause due to a torn hamstring. All in all, there’s a good deal of positive news for football fans going around lately, and it’s shaping up to be an interesting season if the current trends continue.
Ronaldo and Bale have both missed full sessions during the week for different precautionary reasons, but it seems that this period is over and both players are allowed to return to the game. Gareth even took part in a training session with the team, focused primarily on working with the ball, and so far the only ones absent from the current session have been Sergio Ramos, Sami Khedira and James Rodriguez, who are moving forward with their recoveries. It does look like they’ll have to miss a little more of the action, but proper recovery always comes first in those cases.
Rodriguez suffered from a broken foot about a month ago in a contest versus Sevilla, and Ramos is scheduled to not play for another month due to a torn hamstring. Hopefully, there will be no more unexpected injuries in the coming months, as the game has already suffered enough from the current developments, and this could complicate the schedule of upcoming matches even further. Of course, this is hardly anything that can be predicted, and as long as players remember to play carefully, that’s all they can do to stay in control of the game and avoid any serious injuries.
Fans of the sport have been having fun with Ronaldo’s image in the meantime, as a dedicated fan of the video game “WWE 2k15” has managed to use the in-game character editor to create a fighter resembling the football player, pitting him against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a video that’s been enjoying a lot of attention and has been going around the Internet like wildfire.
Funnily enough, the player has paid special attention to the moves he gave to Ronaldo’s virtual image, as at one point in the video, he can be seen throwing a scissor kick, something one would likely expect from a football player thrown in a fighting ring. Ronaldo himself hasn’t responded to the video yet, although he has most likely seen it already, judging by its popularity so far.
