Fergie In No Rush With 'The Slave'

'El Slave' Ronaldo has been making pretty rapid progress with his
recovery from surgery on his ankle. So much so that people are
starting to think about a return in maybe two weeks !

Luckily Fergie thinks differently. It would be pretty futile rushing
him back if he was only to break down again one week later. We
would end up with another Balsawood man.

Ferguson has suggested he will be out of action until the beginning
of October.

"If a player is out for a certain period there is no point rushing it.
You may as well wait the extra week or two to make sure they don't
suffer any setbacks.

"Sometimes the age of a player helps with their recovery. Cristiano
may get back quicker. But we are not putting him under any pressure.

"We have to let the physios do their job properly."

"The plan was to give him one month of rehabilitation work, jogging
and aerobic work in the gymnasium. It is difficult to say with young
players and long-term injury but Cristiano is making good progress."
