"Everything is going very well, I have started running again and I think I will start training with the team next week," the Portuguese winger told Spanish media at a ceremony at Real's Bernabeu stadium.
"Of course, I want to play against Barcelona, but I want to play again before then," including against Zurich in the Champions League on November 25.
Ronaldo injured his right ankle in Real's 3-0 Champions League victory over Marseille in September and aggravated the problem while playing for Portugal (Oct 10). On Tuesday, he was ruled out of Portugal's World Cup play-offs against Bosnia-Herzegovina (Nov 14, 18) after undergoing medical tests on the injury in Lisbon.
