Cristiano Ronaldo declared himself ready to play for Portugal in their World Cup opener against Germany on Monday.
Ronaldo has been battling tendinitis in his left knee over the past two months.
“I have been practicing for a few days, which I couldn’t do if I was injured. I’d like to be 110 percent, but I am at 100 percent and ready to help the national team.
“Obviously, I would like to play without pain, but in my entire career I have always had injuries and knocks to deal with, but I am ready to play.”
