SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo will be sidelined at least a month after breaking his hand in a league match over the weekend.

Doctors said Monday that Ronaldo broke two bones in his left hand after a fall 20 minutes into Corinthians' 3-0 loss to rival Palmeiras on Sunday.

Corinthians doctor Paulo de Faria says Ronaldo will miss four to five weeks because of the injury, and further exams would determine whether surgery was needed.
