Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo will be making his first appearance of the La Liga season when his side play against Real Betis on Wednesday.

The Portuguese was banned for five domestic matches following his misconduct against the referee, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, in a Super Cup clash with Barcelona in August.

The club confirmed Ronaldo’s return on Twitter on Wednesday as he was included in a published 19-man squad for the clash.

The Ernesto Valverde’s men are at the top of the Spanish top flight log.

Ronaldo scored twice when he returned for Madrid in the Champions League against APOEL and manager Zinedine Zidane will hope for a similar impact as they play their matchday 5 fixture tonight.
