Cristiano Ronaldo was pictured running outside on Sunday as Real Madrid trained before the Champions League clash with Manchester City.

Real Madrid has received a fitness boost ahead of the Champions League semifinal second leg against Manchester City after star forward Cristiano Ronaldo trained on Sunday.

Ronaldo was expected to recover from a hamstring injury to face City in last week's goalless first leg at Etihad Stadium but felt soreness during the final session before the game.

The three-time Ballon d'Or winner also sat out Saturday's 1-0 Liga win at Real Sociedad and, although coach Zinedine Zidane expressed tentative confidence Ronaldo can recover in time, doubts persisted over his physical condition.

But on Sunday, Madrid posted a tweet featuring pictures of Zidane's squad in training, including one of Ronaldo running.
