World Cup 2022: Ronaldo assigned to specific training ahead of Portugal v South Korea clash

Published on: 01 December 2022

When Ghana faces off with Uruguay on Friday, December 2, Portugal and South Korea will also lock horns simultaneously.

The national teams of the four countries will be in action tomorrow to bring finality to Group H.

Ahead of the game, Portugal have been mindful of the workload given to Cristiano Ronaldo.

After the side’s 2-0 win over Uruguay on Monday, they had a recovery session on Tuesday.

While 12 players will take part in a full training session, Cristiano Ronaldo and the players that featured in the Uruguay game only had a light training.

On Wednesday, Portugal trained fully with all players except poster boy Cristiano Ronaldo.

The world football great was assigned to do specific recovery work at the gym as head coach Fernando Santos aims to reduce the workload of the aging forward.

On Thursday however, Ronaldo was fully involved in training and finished with no concerns.

The former Real Madrid star is expected to lead the lines for Portugal tomorrow when they take on South Korea in the final Group H match.

Portugal have already qualified for the Round of 16 and have no cause to worry.
