The Portugal captain has not featured for Real Madrid since coming off injured in the Euro 2016 final, but he is working hard to get back into shape ahead of his return
Cristiano Ronaldo has tackled his injury with typical brute force and determination, and Real Madrid predicts he will be returning to the pitch before too long.
The Portugal forward suffered a knee problem which forced him off early in July's Euro 2016 final, which his side won 1-0 against host France.
He missed his side's opening two La Liga games, but on Thursday Madrid released a video showing that he is busting a gut to get back onto the field for the club.
