Cristiano Ronaldo set alarm bells ringing for Portugal on Thursday as he failed to complete his side\u2019s training session and left the pitch in Campinas with a large ice pack on his left knee.<\/p>\n
The Real Madrid forward has been struggling with tendinosis but returned to action for 66 minutes in Portugal\u2019s 5-1 friendly win over Ireland on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
After that, the 29-year-old told reporters he was \u201c99.9 per cent fit\u201d, but participated only in stretching with his team-mates on Thursday and left the pitch with his knee in an ice pack after signing autographs for fans.<\/p>\n
