Ronaldo showed up with a large belly and little speed in his return to Corinthians.

He acknowledged he is overweight and out of shape as he tries to recover from a thigh injury that sidelined him for three months.

The 33-year Ronaldo, a three-time FIFA Player of the Year, said Friday on Twitter that he could be in shape to play in 15 days.

Ronaldo practiced on Thursday against a Corinthians youth team and showed few of the skills that made him famous at the height of his career at Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid.
