Portugal coach Paulo Bento is set to gamble on both Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe in tonights friendly against the Republic of Ireland.Ronaldo started facing injury problem 2 months before the season finished and it seems he has never been 100 per cent fit ever since.
Pepe is also injured and Portugal will need there Madrid stars to progress from the Group of death.It might not be wise for Bento to risk his star players tonight against Ireland its better he risks the against Germany.Ronaldo and Pepe had a wonderful season at Madrid Ronaldo scoring 31 goals it was very impresive season for both players.
Two of them trained on Saturday and Sunday and Pepe will train today," Bento revealed on Monday."Their situation will depend on how they respond to training and we'll see what our decision will be for tomorrow's match."It's always difficult to train without the full squad and it's always difficult to prepare for a big match like the German one without all the players fit."(soccerheatbase)
