Ronaldo fit, Benzema, Casemiro out of Man City clash

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said Cristiano Ronaldo "is 100 per cent" and will face Manchester City in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg but striker Karim Benzema and midfielder Casemiro will miss the game.

 Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury which forced him to miss Madrids last three games in all competitions and has resumed full training.

But Benzema is yet to recover from a hamstring problem and Casemiro is still out after a knock to the hip sustained in Saturday's 1-0 win at Real Sociedad.

"Cristiano is fine, he is 100 per cent. He has trained and will be with us tomorrow, there is no risk," Zidane told a news conference.

"We need a 100 per cent Cristiano," he said. "He's a different player. His numbers show that and I’m happy he's with us tomorrow. I'd have liked Karim and Casemiro to be there too, but others will play and that's that," added Zidane.

"Karim's situation is different. He still has a problem and we don't want to take any risks," he said.

"Casemiro does not have a serious injury but he has a bruise and did not train today. We will try and play the same way and put someone else in his position. Casemiro is Casemiro but we have a big squad and there are other players who can do what he does."
