  • Ronaldo scare for Portugal

    Cristiano Ronaldo left training on Monday with a pack of ice wrapped around his right ankle.


    The Portuguese ace looked comfortable throughout a relaxed session, but required treatment from the medical staff before he headed for the dressing rooms.

    He did not appear to be limping, or be in any pain, and the situation remains unclear as the Portugal camp refused to confirm the nature of the problem.

    With their opening Euro 2008 game just five days away, Luiz Felipe Scolari will be desperate for his wing wizard to shake off the knock in time to face to Turkey.

    Portugal were training at their tournament base in Neuchatel, with the players allowed to take things easy in an attempt to avoid any potential pitfalls.

    Having failed to do so, Scolari will also be concerned by the fact that new Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa was once again forced to run drills away from the main group.


    Dreams



    The Portuguese are tipped to make light work of a group which also contains Switzerland and Czech Republic, but they will be keen to have their top talents available from the off.

    They narrowly missed out on home soil four years ago, finishing as runners-up to Greece, and will be keen to go one better this time around.

    Their chances of fulfilling that dream are likely to rest on the shoulders of Manchester United star Ronaldo, and a nation will currently be praying that the world's best player is a quick healer.
