Carlo Ancelotti revealed that Ronaldo will be back in the squad on the 13th and will be heading to Dubai with the team.

“I’m sorry that Ronaldo cannot play yet, but I believe that the fact that he left is the best thing for him. Unfortunately he suffered an injury from which he is finding it hard to recover and now he has the necessary time up to the 13th of January to solve his problem. The psychological factor of which everyone is talking is due to the fact that he was able to play just one game in six month. In reality he had suffered a problem to the flexor before, then to the calf. He will be in Dubai. We shall send a trainer in Brazil from the 26th of December who will be able to assist him and Pato, because he cannot come to Dubai due to bureaucratic reasons.”

Hopefully Ronaldo can reach 100% match fitness before they face Arsenal in February.
