In an Instagram post, Ronaldo also signaled to fans that he was ready to participate in the match against Brighton. He posted a photo from the friendly match with Rayo Vallecano with the slogan: "Ready".
In the context of Martial being forced to miss due to injury, Ronaldo will likely be the choice in the highest position in the attack.
