ROME: AC Milan striker Ronaldo is unsure whether he will be able
to play at the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan next month because of a new injury
scare.
The Brazilian pulled up with a calf pain while warming up to come on as a
substitute for the European champions during Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Benfica in
the Champions League.
After the match Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said that the problem was not
serious and that he expected Ronaldo be able to play in today’s Serie A clash
with Juventus.
But the striker was much less optimistic on Thursday.
“I still feel a little pain. I don’t think I’ll recover for the Juve game,” he
told La Gazzetta dello Sport’s website (www.gazzetta.it). – Reuters
