Now Ancelotti Hits Out At Milan Medics


It is now Milan's worst kept secret that their medical team messed up the treatment of Ronaldo's thigh injury.

What was in fact a tear was treated as just a minor strain, and the player was handed a recovery plan much too advanced for him.

His failure to improve alerted people, and it was only when he returned to Brazil that the national team's doctors discovered the mistake.

Carlo Ancelotti was one of many who bought the medical team's initial prognosis, suggesting that the player would be fit for the coming weekend's game against Siena.

However, the recent developments have not gone down well with him, and he lost his cool when questioned about Ronaldo this evening, putting the blame firmly on the medical team.

"How is Ronnie? Ask Professor Meersseman and the medical staff," he scoffed.

"First I was told he would be ready on Monday September 10, then I was told Wednesday. I am still waiting."

It appears he will have to wait for almost another month before seeing his star striker back in action.

Ronaldo's Doctor: Milan Botched His Treatment

Ronaldo's doctor has accused AC Milan of incorrectly treating the Brazilian striker's thigh injury.

The Rossoneri have been without the ex-Real Madrid forward's services of the summer, focusing on the player's rehabilitation, with several members of the Milan hierarchy stating their delight with the player's new svelte form.

Nonetheless, doctor Bruno Mazziotti has blasted the San Siro club for what he sees as mistreatment.

"We think that the treatment Milan gave him wasn’t the correct course of action," he said, before moving on to discuss Ronaldo's chosen path.

"Ronaldo came back here because he wanted to hear the opinion of people he trusts, like me and Selecao doctor Jose Luis Runco," he added.

Ronaldo could return for next week's clash with Siena, marking a return to competitive football.

He arrived from the Bernabeu in January this year, and scored seven goals in his first 14 league appearances for the club.
