Ronaldo in Brazil return hint

Striker Ronaldo has hinted that he might attempt to reach full fitness playing for Flamengo in Brazil before returning to AC Milan.

The 31-year-old samba star has been ruled out of action since suffering a potentially career-threatening knee injury in February. And, despite facing another seven months on the sidelines, Ronaldo is already looking at how he can resume his playing career once the problem has healed.

The three-times World Player of the Year's contract at Milan in Italy will expire at the end of the season, but he hopes to be handed an extension despite his injury absence. However, Ronaldo has revealed that he could prove his fitness with a few months playing back in his homeland for Rio de Janeiro outfit Flamengo, who he supported as a boy and intimated that he would like to finish his career there in the past.

"I have a beautiful relationship with my team (Milan), the doors will always be open for me there, but I have to be up to it," Ronaldo told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"The idea is to play in Brazil for a few months, maybe at Flamengo, and if everything goes well, reappear in red and black (of Milan)."
