Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will feature for 90 minutes, in their Trofeo Bernabeu game against Fiorentina on Wednesday.
Ronaldo is currently serving a domestic five-match suspension and cannot play until Madrid’s La Liga clash against Real Betis on September 20,
However, the suspension does not affect his participation in Wednesday’s match at the Bernabeu.
Zidane told RMTV that the game was an opportunity for Ronaldo and other players who have not featured so much recently to improve their match fitness.
“It’s an important game for the fans,” Zidane said.
“This year it falls after the first La Liga matchday and we’ll be trying to deliver a good performance, but above all, we’ll be looking to ensure that the players get more playing time under their belts.
“We’re in good shape fitness-wise and there are players like Cristiano Ronaldo who are going to start the game and play the full 90 minutes. We want the trophy to remain here and we’re aiming to put in a good performance.”
