Cristiano Ronaldo looked ready for action after completing a second successive day of Portugal training unscathed.
The Portuguese face Germany today and their talisman gave them a boost by sprinting, taking part in a strenuous workout and even arguing with team-mates.
This followed Ronaldo training last Friday with minimal strapping on his left knee.
The Real Madrid superstar had caused concern in the camp after leaving training early last Thursday with an ice pack attached to his knee, suggesting he had not fully recovered from the problem that affected the end of his club season.
But he was back with a ball at his feet the following day, playing a full part while wearing just a light strap around the affected knee.
Indeed, he was at the centre of things throughout, making forceful points to Fabio Coentrao, Nani and others as they worked through their training routines.
The current Ballon d'Or winner was out of action for two weeks with tendinitis in the knee before the World Cup — an injury which had largely been kept a secret.
But he still ended the season on a high, scoring Real’s fourth goal in their 4-1 Champions League final win over city rivals Atletico.
Portugal start their Group G campaign against Germany in Salvador today, before facing the United States in Manaus on June 22 and Ghana in Brasilia on June 26.
