EXCLUSIVE: RONALDO THROWS AWAY HIS CRUTCHES
25⁄03-2008
Phenomenon manages 70 degree movement in knee and is delighted at progress
Ronaldo took a massive step forward towards recovery on Thursday when he walked without crutches for the first time since his knee operation on 13 February.
After 41 days of rest and physiotherapy, the AC Milan striker expressed delight at his progress.
“I am very happy with the way things are going and the fact that I am no longer in pain,” Ronaldo told Fobazo as he ditched the crutches for a walking stick.
His physiotherapist confirmed that Ronaldo is close to getting full movement of his injured left knee and can already bend the joint to an angle of 70 degrees without experiencing any ill effects.
“Working slowly but surely we are getting better results that we had expected and Ronaldo is more and more confident and feeling more and more independent,” said Bruno Mazziotti. “Sometime in the next few weeks we are going to start working with weights.”
The happy atmosphere surrounding his recuperation has prompted Ronaldo to cut short his planned trip to Paris. The attacker was scheduled to spend a few days in the city before meeting with surgeon Gerard Saillant on 3 April.
But with his recovery going so well he has decided to stay in Milan and continue with his morale-boosting visits to the team’s training complex at Milanello.
He will now go to France on the eve of his 3 April appointment and if he gets the all clear travel to Madrid to celebrate his son Ronaldo’s birthday on 6 April.
