One day after the surgery on his left hand to correct two broken bones, Ronaldo's secret liposuction was unveiled on Thursday by multiple sources.

The entire medical staff, administration and players alike from the Corinthians soccer club were oriented to avoid the subject, as the world renowned player had hoped that the secret surgery would go unnoticed.

Taking advantage of the down time due to his shattered ring finger and middle finger in his left hand, the player decided to take a two-in-one operation.

However, his secret was discovered by the local media.

Corinthians goalkeeper Felipe was the only player to offer an interview regarding the topic. The goalie did not confirm nor deny the liposuction.

"If Ronaldo did have liposuction, he is going to fly. It will only be good for the team. People have constantly been grinding him, but he continues to score goals.

"If he really went through a liposuction, he will be thinner and cause more of a headache for other teams," declared Felipe.

Ronaldo is the current leading scorer for Corinthians with seventeen goals in 27 games.

Due to his hand surgery and the apparent liposuction, the athlete will plan his return to the field in September.

Before then, he will be at home recuperating form both surgeries for the next ten days.

After that, he will be working on his rehabilitation and return to the field as a new player, both physically and mentally.

Ronaldo is expected to return to play for Corinthians in their match against Santos on September 5.
