Ronaldo is recovering from an injury-hit season and has improved considerably during Brazil8217;s pre-World Cup preparation, Brazil8217;s physical trainer said Saturday. 8220;He has improved well,8221; Moraci Sant8217;Anna said. 8220;He8217;s feeling well, without any pain.8221;
Ronaldo was sidelined for most of April and May because of a muscle injury suffered in the Spanish league. He had various injuries at the start of the year and played sparingly for Real Madrid, scoring only five goals in the team8217;s first 19 matches.
8220;He8217;s not having problems with his leg anymore, he8217;s already feeling stronger,8221; Sant8217;Anna said before Brazil8217;s last training session before moving to Germany to defend its world title. Many said Ronaldo was overweight when he reported to Brazil8217;s training camp two weeks ago, but the striker insisted such comments were coming from people who were 8220;not well-informed.8221; Brazilian doctors have constantly said Ronaldo was in acceptable condition and was expected to be in his top form.
