fter a disastrous start to their World Cup
campaign, Portugal have been dealt another blow after Christiano
Ronaldo was pictured limping out of training with his knee heavily
strapped. There had been serious doubts over the Real
Madrid superstar’s fitness ahead of the tournament, after a thigh
problem and tendonitis in his knee forced him to miss training and two
warm-up matches.
Ronaldo declared himself ’100 per cent’ fit
on the eve of Portugal’s opening 4-0 demolition at the hands of Germany
but, although he managed to play the entire game, he was largely
peripheral and failed to change the course of the result.

Walk of pain: Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the training session to watch from the sidelines
It now appears that the Ballon d’Or winner
has suffered a recurrence of his knee problems after receiving
treatment during a training session in Campinas.
Ronaldo was taken through a series of
stretches before having his left knee bandaged with an ice pack and
helped off the field 30minutes before training finished. Ronaldo watched
the rest of the session from the sidelines.
