Brazilian legend Ronaldo could make his long awaited return to football as soon as Wednesday after he was included in Corinthians squad to face Noroeste.

The former Inter, Real Madrid and Milan ace has been out of action for a year and 11 days after suffering a horrific knee injury against Livorno for Milan on February 13, 2008.

However, after major surgery and a year of rehabilitation and hard work, 'Il Fenomeno' could be back in action tomorrow night.

La Gazzetta Dello Sport claims 'Ronnie' has been picked by Corinthians coach Mano Menezes for the next three games as he prepares for the derby against bitter rivals Palmeiras on March 8.

Ronaldo could make his debut for the Paulista side on Wednesday, before his team travels to Marilia and them Itumbiara next week for the Brazilian Cup.

Reports suggest the former PSV man will get a run out against all three teams so he will be ready for the Palmeiras clash in less than a fortnight.
