The Portuguese ace wwas harshly criticized by looking at his wound via a smartphone, but the damage on the left side of his face was clearly visible.

Cristiano Ronaldo skipped Monday's training session to have his eye fixed, and even in pain, the player showed his commitment to Real Madrid's cause by showing up to today's training session with a partially-swollen left eye.

The player stepped out of the game against Deportivo on Sunday after scoring a brace. That second goal saw a Deportivo defender unintentionally hitting the player's face, cutting CR7's eyelid in the process. Have a look ats some pics from Tuesday's training session.

The team's final pic of the day during the training session saw CR7 hiding his battle wounds.

With his return to the pitch today, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo won't be missing next weekend's clash against Valencia, which could see Los Blancos cut the 5-point gap between themselves and Los Naranjeros in the battle for the third spot in La Liga.
