The Portugal forward was pictured working on his tan in Miami as he rests his injured knee that looks set to keep him out of Los Blancos' opening fixtures
While Zinedine Zidane prepared his Real Madrid side for a blockbuster friendly withBayern Munich in New Jersey, his star player was 1,250 miles down the east coast of America by a pool in Miami.
The Portuguese superstar continues to recuperate and work on his tan as he looks to overcome the knee injury he suffered in the Euro 2016 final.
His teammates have been touring the US but it has been the club's record goalscorer Ronaldo who has been making the big headlines across the pond - meeting up withUFC star Conor McGregor at the Irishman's Las Vegas training camp.
The bronzed former Manchester United winger then partied and starred in selfies with actress and popstar Jennifer Lopez as he continued to enjoy his time in Sin City.
And the fun looks set to continue as Zidane may have to deal with Ronaldo's absence for longer than he would have wished.
The Frenchman announced on Friday that the knee injury would need a month of rehabilitation before Ronaldo could start to build towards match fitness.
The 31-year-old will therefore miss the UEFA Super Cup clash against Sevilla on August 9 and is also unlikely to be available for the La Liga opener against Real Sociedad 12 days later.
Real are also still missing Gareth Bale and Pepe who remain on holiday following their long Euro 2016 campaigns.
Los Blancos' last pre-season outing saw them beat Chelsea 3-2 in a thrilling encounter in Ohio on Saturday night.
