Ronaldo has been included in the squad to face Shaktar tomorrow tonight, in what will potentially be his first game of the season after a long lay-off due to injury.

His arrival back in Jan '07 sparked somewhat of a Milan revival in Serie A, with his 7 goals in 14 games helping Milan reach those important CL spots after an indifferent start to the season.

Carlo believes our poor start to this season is due to our inability to score that first goal which forces the opposition to open up and start playing football, instead of sitting back on the counter. Surely Ronaldo, with his impressive movement and finishing, is the perfect player to achieve this?

Does his return mean that we switch back to the 4-1-3-2 which served us well during the last 3/4 seasons? What happens to Seedorf if that happens, a player who has arguably been our best player this season when playing just behind the striker(s)?

Discuss!

Ronaldo's AC Milan comeback will apparently be joined by a full head of hair, with the striker's rapid hair growth being put down to a Swiss remedy that he's agreed to publicise...

Ronaldo's AC Milan comeback isn't far off but, as per the celebrity status of top footballers, some would rather discuss the striker's hair than his feet.

According to Sao Paolo newspaper O Globo, Ronaldo's 70s style afro, which he revealed this week, is down to the Swiss hair remedy Crescina, which the Brazilian striker recently agreed to promote.

Ronaldo thus eschewed fourteen years of a 'number one' buzzcut to grow a mane. Speaking to Chinese news agency Xinhua, he remarked, "It may even help me score more headers."

Regardless, Crescina representatives are thought to be delighted that their product of gaining exposure, although some rossoneri faithful may see it as another distraction for a striker who really must return to the pitch soon.

Still, when he does, at least he'll stand out. Of course, according to some, perhaps it's only a matter of time until Ronaldo goes the whole hog and perfects the Carlos Valderrama look...
