Ronaldo to return

The Brazilian striker missed the start of the season because of a niggling leg problem but is now ready to take his place in the squad for the first time this term, Milan's official website said.

Milan lead Group D with six points from three games, the same as Ukraine's Shakhtar, who lost 4-1 at San Siro two weeks ago.

However, the European champions have not won at home in Serie A this season and Ronaldo's return to fitness will be a big boost given their woeful domestic form.
