Portugal boss Paulo Bento is confident that his captain Cristiano Ronaldo will be fully fit for the World Cup this summer.
The Real Madrid attacker has been plagued by a number of muscle and knee complaints in the last couple of months and has completed just two of Los Blancos' last nine games in all competitions.
However, Bento has no worries over the Ballon d'Or holder for the tournament in Brazil.
"At the moment we just need to see how things go and see what state he'll arrive in. Then we'll do the best we can to manage his condition," he told DPA Agency.
"A national coach doesn't meddle in club matters. I like players to play, but then that depends if they are fit enough to do so."
Ronaldo has scored 50 times for Madrid this season.
