Real Madrid have officially confirmed new signing Cristiano Ronaldo has not contracted swine flu.
The club insists Ronaldo has contracted the normal strain of flu.
Rumours had persisted over Ronaldo's health after the winger pulled out of Portugal's midweek game against Liechtenstein because of the illness.
There were speculation that Ronaldo contracted swine flu during the club's tour of the United States.

Having played a few minutes against DC United with the symptoms, fears were raised that he could have spread the virus and those were heightened as he suffered on the return flight to Madrid.

But Los Merengues have issued an official denial that Ronaldo has anything other than a normal strain of flu and that he will recover in the next few days.
"The player is recovering from the common flu", Real Madrid gave a basic message to fans about the star's current condition," the statement read.
"Cristiano Ronaldo returned from Washington DC with the flu and has been told to rest at home and was prescribed medication."
