(Reuters) - Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is itching to get back into action in Wednesday's Champions League last 16, first leg at Schalke 04 after serving a three-match La Liga ban, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Tuesday.

The Portugal international was sanctioned after being dismissed for violent conduct in the 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao on February 2 and has not played since he netted two penalties against Atletico Madrid in the King's Cup on February 11.
