Ronaldinho returns to the squad

Ronaldinho has been named in the squad to travel to Villarreal after missing the last two FC Barcelona games as he has continued on his path to full fitness using a personal training programme.


Frank Rijkaard has called up the Brazilian and, along with Lionel Messi and Sameul Eto’o, now has his habitual three-pronged attack for the game in El Madrigal on Sunday evening. The last time that the trio played together was on March 31 in the 2-1 victory against Deportivo La Coruña.

Eto’o was then unable to play in the league game against Real Zaragoza, while Ronaldinho missed the matches against Mallorca in la Primera and Getafe in the Copa del Rey. It must be remembered that with these three playing up front together, Barça have never lost a league game. 

Without Márquez

Rafael Márquez is the only player that has been rested for the game this weekend. Rijkaard is also without Thiago Motta, Edmílson and Iuliano Belletti, who are all out with injuries.
