Ronaldo says he's fit

Real Madrid striker Ronaldo believes he will be fit enough to play a part in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final return against Juventus in Turin.

Ronaldo suffered a calf injury in Real's 2-1 victory in the first leg in Madrid and club doctors gave him only a 10 per cent chance of being fit for Wednesday's game.

The Brazilian was included in the squad

on Monday, however, and he is now much more optimistic about his chances of making the game.

"I'm well," Ronaldo said on his personal website on Tuesday. "I had a test today and the truth is I feel very well.

"With every hour I'm more optimistic and I now believe I'll be able to play. I'm eager to help the team in a game like this."
