Cristiano Ronaldo Out 3 Months
(Soccer365.com) Cristiano Ronaldo will be out of action for at least three months, according to the Portuguese national team physiotherapist.
The Manchester United winger has had a troubling summer as he has been in the centre of a transfer battle between his English club and Spanish suitors Real Madrid.
The Portuguese star underwent surgery on his right ankle last Monday and physiotherapist Antonio Gaspar has confirmed he will be sidelined until October.
"We are going to use everything that is possible to us and that will help him recover as quickly as possible," Gaspar said.
"But Cristiano Ronaldo will not be in an optimum state for the competition until 12 weeks are up.
"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."
