Ronaldo & Bale Should Be Fit For CL Final

Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, is hopeful that Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale will be fit to play in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid.
Both players have missed Real’s 2-0 La Liga defeat to Celta de Vigo.
Ronaldo has only completed two of Real’s last nine games in all competitions and is currently recovering from ‘muscular fatigue’ which saw him being substituted after just eight minutes against Valladolid last Wednesday.
"Ronaldo underwent treatment and is almost fully recovered," Ancelotti told media on Tuesday.
"We have a fortnight to prepare for the match and I think they'll be completely fit for the final. I think he'll be able to play against Espanyol (next Saturday).”
Bale missed the Valladolid game due to a ‘knock’, but the exact details haven’t been confirmed by the club.
The Welshman had travelled with the squad on Sunday, but Ancelotti decided not to risk him despite his side losing 2-0.
"(Bale) is not 100%," Ancelotti added.
"He got a knock, but I decided not to risk him, especially when I could have put him on. I wanted to avoid any problems."
Both players still have 10 days to recover and be ready for the Champions League final in Lisbon on May 24.
