Ronaldo Recovers Fast, United Winger Could Return by the End of September

Sir Alex Ferguson, Scottish football manager of Manchester United F.C., acknowledges that Portuguese football winger, Christiano Ronaldo, is recovering ‘a little bit ahead’ from an ankle operation. The surgery was due to an incident earlier in the summer following the end of Portugal’s Euro 2008 campaign.

Ronaldo's 2007-08 season began with a red card for a claimed head butt of Richard Hughes, who plays for Portsmouth F.C, during United’s second match of the season. Ronaldo was initially ruled out with a three-month ban. Ronaldo is said to have learned a lot from the experience and will be more cautious. The winger has been engaged in light training with the champions this week, causing speculation that he would return to the playing field by the end of September. However, Sir Ferguson had been expecting Ronaldo to start playing at the start of October. If you like to record football matches, have somewhere to store them, look at solidstatestorage.co.uk.

Sir Ferguson admits the Footballer of the Year is slightly advanced of his schedule in his quest for a first-team comeback, but is not taking chances as the player needs to recuperate fully after his ankle operation. In an interview with Sky Sports News, Ferguson commented that Ronaldo has been doing surprisingly well and could return ahead of schedule. He said he has been jogging all week, but it is only jogging and there is nothing serious about it. Ronaldo is still to undergo rehabilitation in three weeks, followed by endurance work and serious running, before he can wear his uniform again for Manchester United .
