Cristiano Ronaldo will make a timely return to Real Madrid training ahead of the club’s European Super Cup clash with Manchester United in Macedonia next month, according to Marca.

The Los Blancos club legend, who was initially due back from his summer break on Friday July 28 – 30 days after he played his last match for Portugal in the Confederations Cup – was reportedly given more time off ahead of his tax evasion court case next week (Monday July 31).

Ronaldo missed Real’s tour of the USA and instead took part in a personal, promotional tour of China.

Nevertheless, the 32-year-old is all set to make his comeback in time for Real’s key fixtures, starting with United on August 8th and then the double-header against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup (first leg, Nou Camp, August 13th; second leg, Bernabeu, August 16th).
