Corinthians Striker Ronaldo Admits Return Is Getting Closer

The hitman is on his way back, but he is treading carefully in order to refrain from rushing things...

Corinthians striker Ronaldo admits his return to action is drawing closer as he enjoys the Carnival in Rio De Janeiro.

The Brazilian hitman has been out since his horrific injury against Livorno last February when playing for Milan. After surgery and a long fight against the odds, 'Il Fenomeno' is on the verge of returning to a football pitch.

Fans cannot wait for the bald-headed star to come back and they will be cheering following his latest comments while he was enjoying the Rio festivities.

"I do not know the exact date of my return, but I believe it is very near," Ronaldo told Globoesporte.com.

"I am feeling really well and all the training has been going good. I am very happy with the progress."

Ronaldo signed for Corinthians in December after he was released last summer from the Rossoneri.

A number of reports have suggested that the striker will make his debut against Palmeiras next month.

So far, Corinthians coach Mano Menezes has failed to bow to pressure regarding Ronaldo's return, leading to speculation that the player is still some way off full fitness.
