Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has pleaded with Cristiano Ronaldo not to play for Portugal this week if he is still carrying an injury.
Ronaldo picked up an ankle knock in United's 1-0 Barclays Premiership win at Blackburn but Ferguson said it was for the player to decide whether to face Kazakhstan.
"Cristiano has a European Championship game, he's got an ankle knock, but he will decide in the best interests of the boy and the team," Ferguson said.
