Brazilian star striker Ronaldo said Wednesday that he would return to field in a month after figure surgery but declined to clarify the reports over weight reducing liposuction.
"We have a period of one month for the consolidation of the bone," said Ronaldo, who had surgery on his left hand two weeks ago after he fell badly to be injured during Corinthians' 3-0 defeat by Palmeiras on July 26.
Asked at a news conference if he had had liposuction and if he thought it could help him, Ronaldo said: "I don't know, I don't even know if I did it. These are things we don't know...What I do with my private life is my business."
Corinthians have not won in five matches and slipped to 11th in the Brazilian soccer championship standings.
