Ronaldo returns to Real squad ahead of Betis clash

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has already revealed his 19-man squad list for tonight’s game against Real Betis, with Cristiano Ronaldo set to be involved after completing his suspension.

The Portuguese was suspended for five games after pushing the referee during the Spanish Super Cup, but after finally completing his ban, Ronaldo is now available to make his first La Liga start of the new campaign.

The 32-year-old is expected to start the game against Betis, with his availability coming as a huge relief to Zidane given Karim Benzema’s continued absence.

Mateo Kovacic, Jesus Vallejo, Karim Benzema and Theo Hernandez all miss out on selection through injury, whilst youngster Achraf Hakimi is left out for tactical reasons.

The Real squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Navas, Casilla, Luca

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo

Midfielders: Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Llorente, Asensio, Isco, Ceballos

Forwards: Cristiano, Bale, Lucas Vázquez, Borja Mayoral
