Surgery is a success, however United won't know his fitness/health on the ankle until a months time.

Definitely out for 6 weeks, leaving him only a week to get ready for the season start.

I really wished he would have gotten this surgery before he went on holiday. Mind you rest and a wait and see was more than likely done, leaving surgery as a last resort.

Ronaldo ankle op successful

CRISTIANO Ronaldo has undergone a successful operation on his right ankle, Manchester United have announced.

The Portuguese winger had a procedure in Amsterdam carried out by a Dutch surgeon, but the club say they will not be able to state when he will be fit again until he is seen by the specialist in a month.

It is likely he will be out for at least six weeks and miss the start of the new season.

United said in a statement: “Cristiano Ronaldo underwent surgery today to his right ankle.

“The operation was performed by Professor C. Niek van Dijk at The Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam and the initial indications are that the procedure was successful.

“Cristiano will begin his convalescence under the direction of club medical staff and an estimation of his return to full fitness will be possible following review by the specialist in one month.”
