Ronaldo Hopes to Return to International Stage

Ronaldo, the striker for the Brazilian national team, who has been plagued by injuries, says he may be able to play in his club team's match in Italy, Inter Milan, against Roma on March 24, which corresponds to Farvardin 4. He also hopes to return to the national team three days later. Ronaldo, who has been named World Footballer of the Year twice, is working hard to be in good form by the start of this year's World Cup. He states that his recovery from a series of muscular issues that have troubled him for the past six months is going well. In an interview with Brazilian television, he expressed confidence in his recovery and hopes to be selected for the Brazilian national team's match against Yugoslavia. Brazil will host Yugoslavia in a friendly match on March 27 in Fortaleza. Nilton Petroni, who is overseeing Ronaldo's physical therapy, told reporters that the Brazilian striker will return to Italy after three weeks in Rio de Janeiro. Petroni said, 'He has already started running 100 meters, and the results have been very positive, better than could be expected.' The last time Ronaldo played in the Brazilian national team jersey was in October 1999 during a friendly match in the Netherlands.
