Pepe
Euro 2016 finalists Portugal
received a boost on Saturday when central defender Pepe trained with his
teammates and appeared to be free of any injury problems.
The Brazilian-born defender missed the semi-final win over Wales on
Wednesday because of a thigh injury and had trained separately on
Friday.
But Pepe, 33, took a full part in Saturday's exercises which were
witnessed by reporters during the 15 minutes in which training was open
to the media and he appeared to be ready to face hosts France in
Sunday's final.
Pepe, sent off against Germany in the 2014 World Cup, was outstanding
in the centre of the Portugal defence in their first five games at the
tournament.
The Portuguese football federation did not comment on his condition.
