Ronaldo savours date with Donetsk

Milan striking star Ronaldo can't wait to make tomorrow’s trip to Shakhtar Donetsk after his long injury lay-off.

The Brazilian ace is yet to make an appearance this term after a long-running saga revolving around a thigh injury.

However, El Fenomeno is finally back in training and has been selected in the squad for the Champions League test in the Ukraine.

“I’m so happy to be back in the squad and to be a player again,” the ex-Real Madrid man told the Press.

“I have always reacted well to pressure and I know what I am capable of and what I have to offer Milan.

“Of course it hasn’t been the best start to the season, but this is my beginning. I have been doing well in training and I think I’m ready to go.

“Now I just want to get on the pitch and score…”

The European champions destroyed Donetsk 4-1 a fortnight ago and know that a similar result would make them strong favourites to win Group D.
