Cristiano Ronaldo travels to Villarreal despite injury


* Manchester United comes to Villarreal without Berbatov, Neville, Van der Sar or Welbeck




The Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo traveled to Spain with the rest of the team that will face at Villarreal on Tuesday, despite having been withdrawn in the match played on Saturday versus Aston Villa.



A communique published on the website (www.manutd.com) said that Ronaldo had trained without problems on Monday morning after suffering an injury in his leg and joined the group of 20 players who left for Spain.



However, the United reported that the defender Gary Neville, the Bulgarian striker Berbatov, the goalkeeper Van der Sar and the attacker Danny Welbeck not take part in the encounter with Villarreal.



Neville is still undergoing treatment for a groin pull in and could also miss the derby that his team will play on Sunday against Manchester City.



For his part, Berbatov has a lesion in the isquiotibiales, while Welbeck did not participate in training on Monday. Dutchman Van der Sar will rest.



The midfielder Paul Scholes, who suffered an injury to the ligaments of a knee, returned to training on Monday but is not yet ready to play.
