Ronaldo will return to action tonight.
Portugal will wrap up their last warm-up game tonight when they face a tough side, as the Selecao will look to continue their winning run after beating Chile 2-1.
Selecao then turn attention to the World Cup, with their opening competition match against DR Congo in Group K.
Portugal are determined to create history this summer and finally clinch the only trophy they have yet to win in a major international competition.
Meanwhile, their starman Cristiano Ronaldo will be motivated to lead his side, which could be his last World Cup, as the former Real Madrid star will participate in a record sixth World Cup.
However, before their first World Cup game, Portugal will want to conclude their preparations against Nigeria with a win tonight to maintain their winning momentum.
Moreover, Roberto Martinez will look to experiment with his squad to find that balance that can take his side to glory, while Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start tonight.
