Well the initial reports of Ronaldo returning in 6 weeks had been premature.

The official return date is in 12 weeks.

Cristiano Ronaldo is facing at least three months on the sidelines, according to the Portuguese national team physiotherapist.

The Manchester United wide man has endured a difficult summer as he has found himself in the centre of a transfer tug-of-war with Spanish suitors Real Madrid and his Old Trafford employers.

Ronaldo underwent surgery on his right ankle last Monday and now Portugal physiotherapist Antonio Gaspar has now confirmed the playmaker will not return to action before October.

"We are going to use everything that is possible to us and that will help him recover as quickly as possible," Gaspar told Spanish sports daily AS.

"But Cristiano Ronaldo will not be in an optimum state for the competition until 12 weeks are up.
Lengthy lay-off

"He is working very well and he is optimistic.

"These first four weeks he will do the rehabilitation work in my clinic. After the first month, the Manchester United doctors will carry out another exam."

Gaspar added: "I want it to be made very clear that I am only involved with Ronaldo's recuperation and that I am in permanent contact with the medical department at Manchester United, with the Dutchman Niek van Dijk [the specialist who performed the operation] and with [Portugal team doctor] Henrique Jones.

"Any other information or the medical aspect about his injury are only and exclusively the concerns of Manchester United."

Well, its pretty safe to say that Anderson's injury concerns are absolutely nothing to worry about.

Photos were taken from Brazil's arrival and preparation for the Olympics.

Seems that Ronaldo's rehab is going well and right on schedule. Which is very good.

Still looking at an end of September, early October return date.

CRISTIANO Ronaldo is fully focused on returning to fitness as soon as possible, according to his physiotherapist.

Antonio Gaspar, who was with the Portuguese winger in Los Angeles this month, has sought to quash suggestions that an aleged party lifestyle has got in the way of Ronaldo's rehabilitation.

The double footballer of the year is recovering from ankle surgery and will miss the start of United's defence of their Premier League and European crowns.

But despite suggestions that the 23-year-old's celebrity lifestyle was hindering his recovery, Gaspar said: "Cristiano works for five to six hours a day and we haven't had that many days off.

"The trip to LA was fantastic. We were able to work far from the pressure.

"He will be fit again by the end of September or in the first days of October."

Well it looks like Rooney will be out for the start of the season with a bug he picked up during the African preseason tour.

Not good, considering the strikeforce was low to begin with.

Wayne Rooney is set to miss the start of the season after picking up a virus in Nigeria.

Manchester United toured Africa last month and won the Vodacom Challenge before taking on Portsmouth in a friendly.

It has now emerged that Rooney is suffering from a virus and will not be fit to line up for United in the Community Shield against Portsmouth on Sunday.

The England man is also likely to sit out the Premier League opener against Newcastle the following week.

The news will come as a major blow to United, who will also begin the defence of their title without injured winger Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo underwent ankle surgery earlier this summer and is not expected to return to action until October.

the list, got bigger and bigger and it's filled with lots of important players, hopefully the things will come into normal in the next weeks, cuz the things are nasty as they look now.

Now it seems that Nigerian officials have been insulted by Sir Alex and United's comments that Rooney picked up a virus there.

It shouldn't be taken as an insult if Rooney took sick in Nigeria. It happens...

Sir Alex Ferguson has been accused of lying over Wayne Rooney's mystery illness.

The Manchester United striker has been ruled out of the opening matches of the new season with a virus that Ferguson claimed had been contracted during the club's brief trip to Nigeria two weeks ago.


"It's a virus he's picked up in Nigeria, I believe, and it's not a nice one," Ferguson told reporters on Tuesday.

But Ferguson's comments have sparked outrage in the country, with Bassey Ndem, an organiser of the tour, telling The Sun: "They did not catch it in Nigeria.

"It's a lie from the pit of hell and it's sad someone had to go to that length to degrade Nigeria. Rooney only sat in his hotel room. He was in Nigeria for less than 24 hours."

United have yet to release any details about Rooney's illness, other than insisting the forward was not suffering from malaria.

In his press conference, Ferguson claimed that the only medication the United party took before the trip were anti-malaria tablets, although it has since been reported that they were also given injections for yellow fever and hepatitis.

The England forward began training again on Monday, though, and is fit for the big kick-off after putting himself through tough double training sessions every day this week. He has trained normally with his team-mates in the morning, then gone through another punishing afternoon schedule.

THATS GOOD NEWS, COME ON!!!!!
