Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Portugal training

Captain Cristiano Ronaldo takes part in training with his Portugal teammates following knee and thigh injuries.

Cristiano Ronaldo has resumed training with his Portugal teammates.

The Real Madrid talisman's participation in his nation's opening game of the World Cup against Germany had been thrown into doubt because of knee and thigh complaints.

However, his appearance at today's session has resulted in reports that the 29-year-old could now feature against the Germans a week on Monday.

The Portuguese Football Association also confirmed that former Liverpool and Chelsea midfielder Raul Meireles took a full part in the drills following a muscular problem, but Madrid centre-back Pepe worked away from the main group as he continued his recovery from a leg injury.
