Cristiano Ronaldo Steps Up Individual Training to Boost World Cup Fitness

Cristiano Ronaldo has intensified his individual training regimen as Portugal prepare for the World Cup, following a recent thigh injury that sidelined him for the 0-0 draw with Greece.

The World Player of the Year missed last Saturday's friendly at home to Greece with a left thigh problem. He has been working separately from the squad as Portugal train near New York ahead of a friendly against Mexico in Boston on Saturday.

Ronaldo struggled with minor injuries during the closing weeks of Real Madrid's season. He played 120 minutes in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid and scored the final penalty in a 4-1 win.
