THE HAGUE (AFP) - Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo is to undergo ankle surgery in Amsterdam on Monday, the hospital where he is being treated confirmed.

Hospital press spokesman Johan Kortenray said that the operation would be carried out during the morning after the Portuguese star had travelled to the Netherlands late Sunday.

Kortenray said that Ronaldo would likely be released to go home on Tuesday.

The operation was arranged after the view of a specialist backed up that of medical staff from both Manchester United and the Portuguese Football Association.

Just like Michael Owen, he was rested for more than a year. So good life......... When Ronaldo fits to play that will be by next season........ LOL

Maybe they'll insert a modicum of modesty during the operation.

Very good! Now he can have a successful career working for Sao Paulo dept of public works. A few days upgrading the run-down garbage dumps around the city will teach him the true reality of life!

Giorgio, I am sorry but that "Primadonna" has to come down to earth. Besides, he's finished!

Tontodonati, you are wrong....the best has yet to come from Ronaldo.
