Cristiano Ronaldo, in addition to a number of his injured Real Madrid teammates, will fly to the Mestalla later this evening to watch the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.

The Portuguese international, who will sit the match out with a hamstring injury, had initially been expected to remain in Madrid to continue his rehabilitation.

However, according to AS, Ronaldo, along with teammates Alvaro Arbeloa, Marcelo, Sami Khedira and Jese Rodriguez, will fly in on a jet later this afternoon to watch Los Blancos in action.

Antonio Mateu Lahoz will referee tonight's Copa del Rey final.
