TM wrote:Milan star Ronaldo is on course for a miraculous recovery from his horrific injury, and could be set to return in time for the start of next season.
The career of the Brazilian was believed to be in huge doubt after he severed a tendon in his knee playing against Livorno in February.
After a successful operation in Paris, it was estimated that he would be out of action for at least nine months, even if a more likely return date was said to be in 2009.
However Ronaldo’s rehabilitation has been going brilliantly well and he is so far ahead of schedule that he could return to playing in September, and even be ready for the start of the new season.
"His recovery is progressing well and we believe that the months of stop can be reduced to seven," Milan doctor Pierre Meersseman told Radio Kiss Kiss.
Ronaldo’s contract at San Siro runs out at the end of the season, but he is almost certain to be handed a fresh deal in the coming months.
September, Ronaldo Returns
Would be fantastic. None of the current top strikers in the world hold a candle to El Fenómeno
