Real Madrid's Portuguese star striker Cristiano Ronaldo said he is fine after colliding with goalkeeper Kiko Casilla during Tuesday's training session and limping out of training.
Ronaldo told reporters that he hurt his thigh during training, but he will be fine and will be at his best in Saturday's Champions League final against Atletico Madrid in Milan, reports Efe.
After leaving Tuesday workouts, fears were high about any possible damage, particularly as the Portugal captain recently sustained a thigh injury.
He believes that he will play Saturday's tie in better form than the Champions League final two years ago in Lisbon, when his side defeated Atletico and claimed the title for the record 10th time.
