LISBON (AFP) - Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo is fit to play in Portugal's crunch World Cup qualifier against Hungary on Saturday after recovering from a twisted ankle, according to coach Carlos Queiroz.

"All the players are fit with the exception of Tiago, who has not recovered," Queiroz said.

Ronaldo, who resumed normal training with team-mates on Friday, added: "I'll be fit for tomorrow's match and the following one."

Portugal, who play Hungary on Saturday and Malta four days later, are third in Group One with 13 points and need to win both matches and for second-placed Sweden to slip up in Denmark, to book their ticket to South Africa.
