Ronaldo fit for Portugal

Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo has been passed fit to join up with the Portugal squad for their World Cup qualification matches against Russia and Northern Ireland.

The 27-year-old had been deemed doubtful after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Barcelona, but a Madrid statement has confirmed his attendance.

"Cristiano Ronaldo will join the Portuguese squad today [Monday]," Madrid said on their official website.

Ronaldo has scored 37 goals in 98 games for his country.
