Brazilian national team physician Jose Luis Runco will perform the
surgery and Real Madrid medical director Alfonso del Corral will follow
the operation.
On July 5, Runco said that Ronaldo had been suffering from pains in the
knee for eight months due to two calcifications in his tibia and that the
player would probably take advantage of the break after the World Cup to
undergo the surgery.
The physician also said then that the injury may have been caused by
trauma or by work overload.
The confirmation of the surgery contradicts declarations of Real Madrids
executives two weeks ago, saying that the striker only needed to rest to
recover from the pains.
The surgery consists of a scaling in the affected area. After the
procedure, a press conference with the physicians will be held at the
Pasteur Hospitals auditorium to give further details about the operation
and the subsequent rehabilitation treatment.
Ronaldo is expected to be back to the pitch in August, when Real Madrid
will play against the Real Salt-Lake in the United States as a
preparation for the 2006/2007 Spanish and European leagues.
