Portugal captain and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo could be set to make his return from injury in Portugal’s final pre-World Cup friendly match against the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old forward had to miss Portugal’s first two friendlies against Greece and Mexico due to tendonitis and a thigh problem, but has since returned to training last Friday.

Pepe, Ronaldo’s Real Madrid team mate, is still out with a leg injury, as is midfielder Raul Meireles with a muscular issue.

Portugal coach Paulo Bento will hope that his side can put on a better display against Ireland, as they drew 0-0 with Greece and narrowly beat Mexico 1-0 in injury time.

Indeed, Ireland will be a hard team to break down.

Martin O'Neill’s side are not World Cup bound, but they have held World Cup teams Italy (0-0) and Costa Rica (1-1) in their two recent friendlies, and will certainly hope to frustrate Bento’s side.
