Figo returns to training

ALCOCHETE, Portugal, June 8 (Reuters) - Portugal forward Luis Figo returned to training on Tuesday after a slight injury, team doctor Henrique Jones told a news conference.
Figo will be available to play in the opening Euro 2004 match against Greece on Saturday after recovering from a minor leg muscle strain.

'Figo returned to practice without any limitations,' Jones said.

The only injured player in the hosts' squad is defender Beto, who also pulled a leg muscle.

'I am optimistic and I hope that Beto will be fit to play by Saturday but we have to wait at least 24 hours,' Jones said.

The Portuguese players had a 90-minute practice session behind closed doors on Tuesday morning.

Prime Minister Jose Manuel Durao Barroso is scheduled to visit the training camp later in the day.
