Cristiano Ronaldo is set to start against Barcelona in El Clasico, after recovering from his recent knock in the FIFA Club World Cup, according to Guillem Balague.

Ronaldo missed training with Real Madrid earlier this week after sustaining a calf problem in his side's 1-0 win over Gremio in Abu Dhabi.
Madrid host bitter rivals Barcelona on Saturday in the first El Clasico of the season and Balague expects Ronaldo to start at the Bernabeu, possibly alongside Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.
"It seems like he is going to be okay," said Balague. "You won't be surprised to hear that some of the niggling injuries that the players have seem to disappear just before a Clasico. He should be okay, they all expect.
"It will be interesting which choice [Zinedine] Zidane goes with, not such much with Cristiano or Benzema, but who will be next to them – Isco or Bale?
"If Gareth Bale feels like he is 100 per cent, he may actually be the surprise name in the line-up. Otherwise it will of course be Isco and the usual suspects."
