Ronaldo's ankle wrapped in ice after Portugal training session
02 June 2008
Cristiano Ronaldo left Portugal's first training session in Switzerland in preparation for the European Championship with ice wrapped around his right ankle Monday.
The winger looked to be fine throughout the session but before he returned to the dressing room, doctors taped the ice around his foot.
He was not limping and did not appear to be in pain, but the Portuguese medical team didn't immediately explain what had happened.
Cristiano Ronaldo left Portugal's training session with his ankle in ice
Portugal underwent a light training session a day after arriving in the lakeside town of Neuchatel for the final week of preparation before the start of the tournament.
The players trained and did a few drills before a short session with the ball at La Maladiere Stadium.
The morning practice session, which was closed to fans, lasted about 90 minutes.
Tuesday's practice was expected to be open to fans and tickets have been sold-out for days. Newly signed Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa practiced separately from teammates, running around the field and doing specific drills with a trainer.
Portugal's first game of the tournament is on Saturday against Turkey in Geneva. Host Switzerland and the Czech Republic are the other two teams in Group A.
About 5,000 fans greeted players and coaches when they arrived from Portugal on Sunday night, waving Portuguese flags and chanting loudly.
