Cristiano Ronaldo has predicted he will be back fit in a week’s time after missing Real Madrid’s defeat against Real Sociedad.
The Portugal captain was also left out of the national team’s squad for the upcoming international round after an accumulation of injuries left him struggling for fitness.
But speaking at a promotional event, Ronaldo gave an insight into his status and also reflected on Los Blancos’ loss at Anoeta.
“I’m doing specific work. Yesterday I went for a run,” he revealed, according to Marca.
“I’m sure in one week I’ll be back to 100%.”
Madrid’s first game after the international break comes against Atletico Madrid, with Ronaldo insisting the team have to do better than they showed against La Real.
“It was a strange game, we were winning 0-2 after 15 minutes, but then things changed.
“We have to learn the lesson that we can’t think a match is won and we must fight to the end.
“We weren’t a serious team until the end and we paid for it.”
