After the tragic loss of his baby boy earlier in the week, Ronaldo reported back to training on Wednesday.

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to training at Manchester United.

The Portuguese was driven into the club’s training base in Carrington and took part in the entire training session on Wednesday, according to a report from Manchester Evening News.

It was Ronaldo’s first appearance since he and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, announced the tragic death of one of their twins, a baby boy, on social media on Monday evening.

The other twin, a baby girl, was born safely.

United had granted Ronaldo compassionate leave and the forward subsequently missed the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday.

During the match at Anfield, Liverpool and United fans held a minute’s applause in the seventh minute as a show of support for Ronaldo and his family during this unimaginably difficult time in their lives.

Manchester United will next face Arsenal in the Premier League this coming Saturday at the Emirates.
