Ronaldinho doubftul for Sunday

Sergi Nogueras

Ronaldinho is doubtful to play in FC Barcelona's first game in the Far East against Beijing Guoan and after picking up an ankle injury during training on Saturday.

In one of the last exercises of the session, the Brazilian damaged his right ankle and it is believed that he may not be fit to play on Sunday. Ronaldinho stretched the internal lateral ligament in what was clearly a painful blow and with only 24 hours to go before kick off it does not give him much time to recover.

Trademark trick

The injury happened when Ronaldinho attempted to pull off one of his trademark maneouvres, but ended up twisting his ankle as a challenge came in from another player.
