Cristiano Ronaldo has provided Manchester United with a late injury scare ahead of the UEFA Champions League final after requiring treatment in training.
The Portuguese winger needed strapping on his ankle during Tuesday evening's training session at the Stadio Olimpico.
Ronaldo, who missed the start of the season after undergoing ankle surgery, is expected to be fit for Wednesday's showpiece in Rome.
The 24-year-old is likely to start up front against Barcelona, with Wayne Rooney and Park Ji-sung tipped to provide support from wide.
Nemanja Vidic was also photographed during the session holding his hamstring, but United have confirmed the Serbian is fit.
Vidic's central defensive partner Rio Ferdinand has also declared himself fit to start the final after a recent absence due to a calf injury.
Barcelona had injury concerns of their own during their final training session after midfielder Sergi Busquets required treatment.
Busquets is expected to start in a holding midfield role, with Barcelona's defensive issues likely to lead to Yaya Toure dropping into the back-line.
Andres Iniesta and Thierry Henry did train on Tuesday evening after recent injury lay-offs and the duo should start for Pep Guardiola's side.
Why o why couldn't the cnut' break his leg ?? ?? Anyway... message to Barca.... 'attack his ankles, he wont last long 😉'
