Fernando Santos: Cristiano Ronaldo Fit for Portugal's Lithuania Qualifier

Portugal manager Fernando Santos has said Cristiano Ronaldo is fit for his team's UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying showdown with Lithuania on Thursday.

Doubts have been raised over the fitness of Ronaldo as of late, as he has been substituted in Juventus' last two games. In the clash with AC Milan on Sunday, the 34-year-old was taken off before the hour-mark and headed straight down the tunnel.

Speaking on the eve of the qualifier, Santos dismissed any notion that Ronaldo was injured and commented on the buzz that constantly follows the Bianconeri star, per Richard Martin of Reuters (h/t the MailOnline).
