He may be in the middle of a multi-million pound tug-of-war over where he will be next season.

But at least Cristiano Ronaldo has a girlfriend happy to play Florence Nightingale to his wounded soldier.

Supermodel Nereida Gallardo is reportedly planning a 12-week love-in to get the footballer fighting fit again.

Hop-a-long Ronaldo has a 12-week love-in with foxy girlfriend Nereida to look forward to

Having already spent several weeks on a steamy holiday in Sardinia, Ronaldo is now recuperating in Lisbon while the 25-year-old kisses him better.

And the lucky Manchester United star, 23, is set earn a cool £2million in sick-pay while he is on the mend.

Spanish vixen Nereida is also hobbling after slipping on her high heels but is no doubt making the Premiere League footballer her priority.

And this is not surprising considering the beauty told a friend she is keen to tie the knot.

A source said to The Sun in May: 'She was boasting they are getting married but haven’t set a date yet.

'She kept showing pictures of them together and going on about what a great wedding she is planning. She said she would make a beautiful bride.'

Unluckily for Nereida, walking up the aisle is probably the last thing on Ronaldo's mind.

The Portuguese is determined to transfer for Real Madrid but Manchester United bosses are blocking the move.

A bitter £80million struggle between the two clubs has ensued.

But with a 12-week love-in ahead of him, it's needless to say the footballer will definitely find something to distract him from the troubles in England.
