Ronaldo will back in action-Zidane

The Brazilian ruptured the tendon in his knee last week, and after undergoing surgery he is expected to be out of the game for at least nine-to-twelve months.

At the age of 31, and having already suffered this same injury twice in his career, many believe that the player’s career is over.

However Zidane who played with Ronaldo at Real Madrid is confident that his friend will pull through.

"I have played a long time with him, we are very good friends,” said the Frenchman. "It is true that I've seen him and spoken on the phone, it is sad.

"He came back even stronger [from injury] in the World Cup of 2002. It is true that his age is important, but I hope he can do it again."

Zidane, who retired from the game in 2006, was the centre of an amusing story earlier in the week regarding Ronaldo.

Having rung up the hospital where the Brazilian was staying, Zidane asked to speak to the bed-ridden star but was refused permission because the telephone operator did not know who Zidane was.
