The 34-year-old striker is currently at least three stone overweight and according to Globoesporte, Ronaldo could not even train on Friday due to his awful physical condition.

And the Phenomenon has admitted that the excess weight he gained during his recuperation period will keep him out of the Corinthians team for even longer.

Ronaldo said on Twitter: "I'm back after three months of injury and it shows. It's true that I have more weight I expected and slow mobility, but in 15 days I'll be fine."

Ronaldo has not played a competitive game since May 9 when he suffered a strain in his right calf in the debut of the 2010 Brazilian Championship.
