Cristiano Ronaldo has been listed in Real Madrid’s squad to face Manchester United in UEFA Super Cup on Tuesday.
It was expected that the 32-year-old would miss the Super Cup clash in Skopje having missed first-team training following an extended leave due to Portugal’s run in the Confederations Cup in Russia this summer.
Manchester United sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £80m in 2009 and Jose Mourinho said last month re-signing the player was “mission impossible”.
Ronaldo signed a new-five year Real Madrid contract last November.
Following the UEFA Super Cup final against United, Real Madrid take on arch-rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup first leg at the Nou Camp on Sunday night.
Real Madrid squad to face Manchester United:
Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Luca Zidane
Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Jesus Vallejo, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Theo Hernandez, Achraf Hakimi
Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Casemiro, Marcos Llorente, Marco Asensio, Isco, Mateo Kovacic, Dani Ceballos
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Lucas Vazquez, Borja Mayoral
