MADRID, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Portugal midfielder Luis Figo is doubtful for Saturday's friendly international against Greece because of an ankle injury sustained while playing for club side Real Madrid.
The 31-year-old winger strained ligaments in his right ankle during Real's 4-1 defeat at Sevilla on Sunday and was a late withdrawal from the club's squad for a commemorative match against Valladolid on Tuesday.
Club medical staff have recommended rest and physiotherapy before another evaluation of the player's injury on Thursday.
Portugal, who host next year's European championships, also play Kuwait on November 19.
