Ronaldo sets and returns to clash against Ajax.

Real Madrid's injured star Cristiano Ronaldo could return for their UEFA Champions League clash against Ajax next Wednesday.

The former World Player of the Year suffered an ankle injury in Real's Primera Division opening round goalless draw against Real Mallorca.

The injury forced the Portuguese to miss Portugal's disastrous Euro 2012 qualifying matches against Cyprus and Norway where they drew 4-4 and lost 1-0 respectively.

But Ronaldo has targeted his club side's clash with Ajax as a possible return date.

"I feel better and we'll see how it (the injury) develops," he told reporters.

"I'm still not perfect but almost at one hundred per cent. I'll return as soon as possible, maybe in two days I can rejoin the squad."

"I believe I can be ready for the match against Ajax."

Real have been drawn in UEFA Champions League Group G alongside AC Milan, Auxerre and Ajax
