Luis Boa Morte and Nuno Gomes are hoping to be fit in time for Portugal's first World Cup match.
The two players have recovered from injuries which they picked up at the end of the season, team doctor Henrique Jones said on Monday.
Boa Morte, who plays for Fulham, missed the final games of the English Premier League with a muscle strain. Gomes missed Benfica's last five league matches with a left knee injury.
Neither of them featured in Portugal's World Cup warmup games against the Cape Verde Islands and Luxembourg over the past two weeks, but they are aiming to be ready for the country's opener against Angola on Sunday. Neither are expected to start, however.
"Now it's just a question of time to get them into top shape," Jones said.
Like many squads at the World Cup, Portugal features top players coming off a long European season.
Deco, a Champions League winner with FC Barcelona, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Inter Milan's Luis Figo were regulars for their clubs in domestic league and cup matches as well as European and international games.
The main purpose of a 10-day training camp in southern Portugal was to help the players shake off the pressures of the heavy European schedule, physical trainer Darlan Schneider said.
"Most of the players had strenuous seasons, both physically and emotionally," Schneider said. "But they have all now got over that fatigue."
Some of the squad, though, had a different problem.
Chelsea midfielder Maniche made few appearances after his midseason transfer to Chelsea. Francisco Costinha was in dispute with Dynamo Moscow after expressing a wish to leave the club and didn't play a league game for months. Everton defender Nuno Valente also lacked match practice. Those players have been undergoing a special fitness regime at the training camps in Portugal and, since Sunday, in Germany.
Schneider said the players had not been affected by the change in climate from the intense heat of southern Portugal to the cooler temperatures of northwestern Germany.
"It's much easier to adapt from hot to cold than vice versa," Schneider said.
Jones said the squad was most concerned about avoiding humid conditions.
He added that the medical staff were aiming to build a fitness curve which would reach its peak next Sunday, though avoiding injuries remains the priority.
The lights dimmed and the crowd hushed as Karoline Kristensen entered for her performance. However, this was no ordinary Dutch theater: The temperature was 80°C and the audience naked apart from a towel. Dressed in a swimsuit and to the tune of emotional music, the 21-year-old Kristensen started her routine, performed inside a large sauna, with a bed of hot rocks in the middle. For a week this month, a group of wellness practitioners, called “sauna masters,” are gathering at a picturesque health resort in the Netherlands to compete in this year’s Aufguss world sauna championships. The practice takes its name from a
Roger Federer on Wednesday said that staying involved with tennis in retirement helped him avoid feeling “like an alien” ahead of this week’s Laver Cup in Berlin. Federer, who helped create the tournament, retired at the Laver Cup in London two years ago and has since stayed involved with the competition as an ambassador. “I’m happy I went back right away to some tournaments,” the 43-year-old told reporters. “I feel I ripped the Band-Aid off quite quickly and when I walk around the tennis sites I still feel I belong there,” he said. “I don’t feel like an alien, which is a
Japanese players are moving to English soccer in record numbers and more look set to follow with clubs attracted by their quality, strong work ethic and value for money. Kaoru Mitoma is the standout talent of five Japanese players in the English Premier League, with eight more in the Championship and two in League One. Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo, the captain of Japan, believes his compatriots are “being held in higher esteem” by English clubs compared with the past. “The staff at Liverpool ask me about lots of Japanese players, not necessarily with a view to a transfer, but just saying this or
