Cristiano Ronaldo's return to first team action for Real Madrid will be subject to the Portuguese Football Federation's authorisation if he is to make his comeback against Racing Santander next weekend, according to AS.
Under FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, a player who misses an international call-up due to injury cannot play for his club for five days after the last fixture of their respective international team.
With real set to face Racing at the Bernabeu next Saturday, November 21, Ronaldo will have to sit the game out unless the Portuguese give him the okay to play, just three days after the second leg of their crucial World Cup play-off against Bosnia.
Ronaldo will return to ball drills at training with Los Blancos at their training ground in Valdebebas on Monday and, barring setbacks is expected to resume full training with his team-mates early in the week with a view to making some appearance against Racing, pending permission from the Portuguese.
