Ronaldo Included Keane Not

Manchester United trickster Cristiano Ronaldo is a surprise inclusion in the Man United squad for their Champions League trip to Villareal, but skipper Roy Keane has been left out of the side. Ronaldo has recently returned from Portugal after he attended the funeral of his father who died tragically last week. Boss Sir Alex Ferguson has decided not to risk Keane, who reported a slight hamstring strain in training.


Villareal are hoping that Argentine international Juan Roman Riquelme will shrug off a slight ankle sprain. The forward, who scored 15 goals in the Spanish Primera Liga last season, was originally rated highly-doubtful after limping out of Villarreal's 1-1 draw with Sevilla on Sunday.But his condition has improved enough for him to be named in Villareal's squad.

Good and bad news for Man United, first the bad news Roy keane been left out and Juan Riquelme has been included in the Villareal side. Good news though Ronaldo been named in the squad. It will be tough for United on Wednesday and I believe they will earn a draw. I feel Diego Forlan will end up scoring a goal on his first game against United since he left the club last season.
