Ronaldo recovering well, says doctor

AC Milan striker Ronaldo is recovering well after knee surgery, according to one of his doctors at a Paris hospital.

"He is recovering well and there is no sign of inflamation," Yves Catonne told French sports daily L'Equipe on Wednesday.

The Brazilian had an operation on a ruptured left knee tendon last week.

"I don't think he wants to quit. I felt he was decided to work and motivated to go on. Even though his return will be a real challenge, because he won't be able to play for eight or nine months."
