Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (37) of Manchester United (Man United), a professional soccer player in England, returned to team training ahead of the match against Son Heung-min (30)’s team Tottenham.
Manchester United, ahead of the 2021-2022 Premier League (EPL) home match against Tottenham Hotspur, delivered information about the players’ status on their website on the 11th (local time) and said, “It is expected that Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani will be able to work after returning from injury. “He said.
The image of Ronaldo was also included in the training photo posted on the official channel by Manchester United.
Manchester United manager Ralph Langnick explained at a local press conference, “Ronaldo did all the training. He trained well like other players, so you can see that he can play tomorrow.”
Ronaldo, who returned to Manchester United after 12 years in August last year and scored nine goals in the Premier League this season, was left behind by missing the last round against Manchester City on the 6th.
The ostensible reason was a hip injury, and rumors of a discord within the team were raised when it was known that Ronaldo was in Portugal at the time.
Until the 10th, Manchester United reported that Ronaldo was undergoing separate training due to injury, but soon returned to normal training, clearing the noise and increasing the possibility of playing against Tottenham.
When asked about Ronaldo’s trip to Portugal at a press conference, coach Rangnique said, “It’s not right to look back on what happened in the last 6-7 days. The important thing is what will happen tomorrow.”
If Ronaldo participates in the match between Manchester United and Tottenham at Old Trafford at Old Trafford on the 13th at 2:30 am Korean time, Heung-Min Son will face his idol Ronaldo for the second time in the EPL.
In the 10th round match between the two teams at Tottenham’s home game in October of last year, United won 3-0 thanks to consecutive goals from Ronaldo, Cavani and Marcus Rashford.
Currently, Manchester United are 5th (47 points) and Tottenham are 7th (45 points).
