One hundred percent I'm still not. I feel a discomfort in the
upper part, it was a pretty nasty blow, but fortunately it was nothing more
serious. I still feel some pain, but bearable. Against Portugal, will surely be
100% - said the defender Leon.

swipe with a divided opponent. Initial tests indicated no fracture, and the

big bruise. I was worried, but we did all the necessary reviews. We have to be
vigilant, so that nothing worse happens during the World Cup - said Márquez.

test before the World Cup debut on Oct. 13 against Cameroon at the Arena das
Dunas in Natal (RN). Next, the team of Miguel Herrera faces Brazil on 17 June
