Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo in his first pre-season session since arriving in LA on Saturday pic.twitter.com/oY0GL8ax9L &amp;mdash; AS English (@English_AS) July 27, 2014  Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has joined up with his team-mates on their pre-season tour of the United States, following his extended summer break. Some of the Madrid first-team have been back in training for up to two weeks, while those who featured in the World Cup finals in Brazil this summer have delayed their comeback. Ronaldo joins the likes of Xabi Alonso, Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos in the US, as the Real squad nears a return to full strength with under a month until the new La Liga season kicks off. The likes of Karim Benzema, Sami Khedira and Angel Di Maria, who all reached the latter stages of the tournament in Brazil, are still yet to return to the squad. All three have been linked with moves away from the Bernabeu this summer, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United all reportedly interested in the trio. New signings Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez are also yet to link up with their new team-mates, following their big-money moves from Bayern Munich and AS Monaco.
