Cristiano Ronaldo's chances of being fit for Portugal's opening World Cup clash with Germany were thrown into further doubt when coach Paulo Bento refused to put a timeframe on his return
Foxborough: Cristiano Ronaldo's chances of being fit for Portugal's opening World Cup clash with Germany were thrown into further doubt when coach Paulo Bento refused to put a timeframe on his return.
Ronaldo, 29, failed once more to train with the rest of his teammates, as they went through their paces ahead of yesterday's friendly with fellow World Cup qualifiers Mexico in the United States.
Portugal play the strongly fancied Germans on June 16 but, at this rate, they could be without their star player and talisman, who was already ruled out of the Mexico game because of persistent leg injuries.
