Ronaldo going to have surgery: I'm so Sad!

Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo is set to undergo ankle surgery in the next ‘two to three days’.

The Portuguese picked up the injury on international duty at Euro 2008 and the problem failed to settle down while he was on holiday in Italy.

Ronaldo was assessed by Manchester United and Portugal medical officials on Wednesday and they have taken the decision that the winger requires surgery.

The surgery is expected to sideline Ronaldo for around six weeks and casts doubt on his future.

Real Madrid are desperate to sign Ronaldo and had hoped to secure his signature before July 7, but the surgery may well force a rethink.
