Portugal’s team doctor has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo will be fit for the game on Thursday against Ghana.<\/p>\n

The Portugal captain has been struggling with tendinitis throughout the tournament, which has seen him limp out of several training sessions.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo, however, has completed 90 minutes in each of Portugal’s two games so far at the tournament despite fears that he could aggravate the injury.<\/p>\n

The two-time world player of the year is expected to start the game against Ghana as well, with Portugal needing a win to stand any chance of progressing from the group.<\/p>\n

Henrique Jones believes that Ronaldo is fit to face Ghana and is is in a much better condition than when the team arrived in Brazil.<\/p>\n

“He is better than when he arrived in the national team set-up,” Henrique Jones told Publico.<\/em><\/p>\n

“In medical terms I do not know if he is 100 per cent, but is clinically he is well and is able to compete. He has a little discomfort because of the tendinitis he suffered, but the rest is fine.”<\/p>\n

Portugal play the Black Stars on Thursday while Germany face the USA in the other group game, with both games kicking-off at 16:00 GMT.<\/p>\n
