Florham Park (USA): Portugal were gearing up for the World Cup in New Jersey, fretting over the fitness of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
With the World Cup looming, the FIFA Ballon d’Or winner as best footballer of last year, had some bad news about his recent aches and pains.
Ronaldo has a “muscle injury on the back of his left thigh as well as left-leg patellar tendinitis,” the Portuguese Football Association said on Tuesday in a report on his medical issues and those of stars Raul Meireles, Pepe and Beto. Amid some heavy downpours, the four spent their time at a training centre grinding it out on different exercises meant to get them in the best possible shape in the final sprint before the World Cup starts on June 12.
While Portugal have previously discussed superstar Ronaldo’s thigh injury – sustained late in the season – it was the first time they reported patellar tendinitis. (AFP)
