Ronaldo set to return as United push the panic button

September 14, 2008

After their poor start to the season, winning just four points in three games, and defeat yesterday to Liverpool, Manchester United have pushed the panic button and are looking to rush Cristiano Ronaldo back from injury early.

They need him too!

The Portuguese player is expected to return for United on Wednesday night for their opening Champions League game against Villarreal. He’s been missing for the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his ankle during the summer. He wasn’t expected to make his return until October, but as United’s season looks like getting away from them before they start, he’s being rushed back early.

United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, said that Ronaldo could be back for Wednesday, and for the game next weekend against Chelsea in a match United dare not lose.

He’s been making great strides in the direction towards first-team football.

Ronaldo is training now, he’s with the first team and he’s aiming to be a substitute at Chelsea on 21 September. He’s come on leaps and bounds.

I think we mentioned a couple of weeks ago he was making rapid progress in terms of overcoming the injury problem he had and the training he’s been doing with the physios and Tony Strudwick the fitness coach.
