Ronaldo: I'll be backRonaldo has confirmed he will try to get back to full fitness and professional football after his latest devastating injury.
“I am feeling better and the worse is behind me,†he told Milan Channel after returning from a month in Paris.
“I no longer feel pain and can now walk a bit better. In a little while I can definitively leave behind the crutches, naturally respecting the timetable we have set.â€
Il Fenomeno conceded his career could well have been over when the tendon in his left knee snapped and was unsure whether or not to fight his way back through nine months of rehabilitation.
He returned to Italy this week after 26 days in the clinic in Paris and immediately felt more positive.
“It is great to be here today. Returning to Milanello, seeing my friends again and the fact I don’t feel pain are all positive.
“It is still early to talk about a decision, but I am preparing for this great challenge that is getting back to football.â€
It is the third time in his career that he has undergone surgery on a knee tendon, although the previous two occasions were in his right leg.
