Ronaldo work with Capello for the first time

Video Safari

Ronaldo had his first training session under Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello yesterday.
The Brazilian striker hasn't trained with his Real teammates for over two months after undergoing knee surgery during the summer.
Capello worked closely with Ronaldo yesterday, well aware that the burly striker is close to his ideal
weight (89kgs) and over his knee complaints. The Real coach wants the Brazilian available as soon as possible as he sees him as a strike-partner for Ruud van Nistelrooy. Capello has failed to be convinced by Raul in the opening weeks of this season.
Ronaldo participated in a bounce
game and showed positive signs that he is near match fitness after being worked hard by coach Jose Luis San Martin in the last few weeks.
