Brazil's World Cup finals goalscoring record holder Ronaldo came through his first training session since undergoing an operation on his left tibia and declared himself delighted at how he felt.

The 29-year-old Real Madrid striker trained for an hour primarily to see how his tibia reacted to the effort, just over two weeks since he went under the surgeon's knife.

"I feel really good," said Ronaldo, who broke Gerd Muller's mark of 14 World Cup finals goals when he scored in the 3-0 second round win over Ghana.

"Everything is coming along really well."

Ronaldo, who scored three goals at the World Cup finals as Brazil surrendered their title bowing out in the quarter-finals to France, had been suffering from the problem for the past eight months.
