Portugal train without Cristiano; Nuno Mendes doubt for rest of World Cup

Portugal trained on Wednesday with their eyes on the final matchday against South Korea. They trained without Cristiano Ronaldo, who did individual training, while Otavio, Danilo Pereira and Nuno Mendes are continuing to recover from their respective injuries. Nuno Mendes suffered a muscle injury in last Monday's game with Uruguay.

Neither Otavio nor Danilo Pereira played in the last game against Uruguay. The former suffered muscle problems in the first game against Ghana while the latter fractured three ribs in training last Saturday. 

Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, the other three players are expected to be out against South Korea.

There is great concern over Nuno Mendes. The full-back did not play in the first match due to an injury and he had to go off in the second one. In fact, he might not be able to play in the rest of the World Cup.
