Corinthians are ready for the semifinals in the Copa do Brasil, but
Ronaldo is out for the next league game.
"It has not been easy to play in the last two games, because I have a
little problem with the right calf. That limited and disturbed my play.
When I enter the pitch not fully ready, it's never the same," Ronaldo
said after Corinthians on Wednesday night in Rio eliminated Fluminense
in the Copa after a 2-2 draw.
Ronaldo sees a game a week as the ideal, but has played two cup matches
against Fluminense and a league game against Botafogo in eight days.
"The problems started last week before the game against Fluminense at
Pacaembu. I had to take a lot of medicine beacuse of a flu. On the eve
of the match I felt a problem in my right calf. Since then, the pain has
not disappeared.”
”Unfortunately, I can not face Barueri on Saturday, but I will prepare
for the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Vasco, which is the priority of
the Corinthians right now.” |
