Cristiano Ronaldo keen to play Ecuador friendly despite 'overload'

Lisbon: Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is confident he will take part in Wednesday's friendly against Ecuador despite feeling a certain "overload".

"I have no specific (physical) problem. There is some overload, but it will not affect my availability. I will analyse what is best for me on Wednesday with the coach and doctors. I am here with body and soul. Whether or not I am at 100 percent, I will play," Ronaldo, who turned 28 on Tuesday, said.

Ronaldo, who scored the first own goal of his career during Real Madrid's 1-0 defeat to Granada over the weekend, praised Ecuador and said he believed it will be an "interesting" match-up.
