AC Milan’s Brazilian striker Ronaldo has said he is recovering well from a career-threatening knee injury and expects to be able to run again in two or three weeks.
“The knee is going very well. Now we are starting work to reinforce the muscle. I’ll start running in two or three weeks,” Italian media quoted Ronaldo as saying at the French Grand Prix on Sunday.
Ronaldo, 31, added he hoped to upset doctors’ predictions that he would be sidelined for at least nine months after having surgery on a ruptured left knee tendon in February.
“I’m optimistic. I might be able to return early, although it’s early to say with precision. I want to play,” La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Web site (www.gazzetta.it) quoted him as saying.
Ronaldo’s contract with Milan runs out this month and he said he still does not know if he will be offered a new deal.
“I don’t know what to say (about the contract),” the three-times World Player of the Year said. “Milan haven’t made me any promises. Occasionally I speak to (Milan sports director) Leonardo, but I would have liked to have had more contacts from the team. It’s still early to say anything.”

Nah, I really doubt Milan are gona offer him another contract. They’re businessmen, they care about money and Ronaldo would not be good investment at this point due to this injury. I would love to see him play for Milan, cause he’s the reason I started following Milan in the first place. But from the way Gilliani talks about the squad and prospective buys he’s not going to extend the contract.
yeah i’m with you on that. Galliani keeps mentioning Boriello, Pato, Inzaghi and Paloschi as the strikers for Milan. Ronaldo is better then all of them but its all about Money. Lets hope Ronaldo stays in Europe.
