Ronaldo Career Virtually Over

The career of Milan striker Ronaldo is virtually over after it was confirmed that he has completely severed the tendon in his left knee.



Ronaldo collapsed in the penalty area in agony just minutes after coming on as a substitute in tonight’s 1-1 draw with Livorno.

El Fenomeno was stretchered off the pitch in serious distress and he was in floods of tears.

The seriousness of the situation could be seen immediately as the Milan players were clearly shaken up by what they had seen.

Ronaldo was immediately rushed to hospital where tests revealed that he had completely severed the tendon in his left knee.

The 31-year-old has already suffered this injury twice before, first in 1998 and then in 2002. In total these kept him out of the game for the best part of three years.

With this in mind, and also considering the fact that reports yesterday suggested that he was already considering retirement at the end of the season, it seems highly likely that the great career of Ronaldo has come to an end.

This guy has just been so unlucky with injuries. Still, one of the greatest strikers ever. But, if only he'd been fit for those 3-4 years, there's no doubt he'd be known as the best.

Agreed.

His eating habits and drinking didn't help the last few years but injuries ended what could have been the career of the world's best player.

Yep. Definitely not.

Never got to watch him at PSV. But he was incredible with Barca. Amazing finishing, skills, vision, and he was good with both feet. His change of pace was incredible.

Always wanted to know what happened that night before World Cup 98 though...
