The Portuguese physio charged with the task of overseeing Cristiano Ronaldo’s rehabilitation says the Manchester United winger is working tirelessly on his fitness.

Ronaldo is recovering from ankle surgery, but questions have been asked about his focus as he has appeared to be spending more time on topping up his tan than working on his rehab.



He has caught the headlines during a trip to Los Angeles, but Antonio Gaspar claims Ronaldo is working six hours a day to ensure he is fit to play in two months.

“Cristiano works for five to six hours a day and we haven’t had that many days off,” Gaspar told The Sun.

“The trip to LA was fantastic. We were able to work far from the pressure.

“He will be fit again by the end of September or in the first days of October.”
