Training test for Ronaldinho
Sandra Sarmiento / Roger Bogunyà
The Brazilian took to the Camp Nou turf this afternoon to evaluate how his leg injury is standing up.
Ronaldinho appeared on the Camp Nou pitch in the company of his fitness
coach at 6.00 and exercised for 30 minutes. The short session was designed to put the player
through his paces and test what progress has been made as the player tries to get match fit as soon
as possible.
Different exercises
Ronaldinho missed the weekend fixture against Sevilla, and will not be
making the midweek trip to Zaragoza either. His individual session concentrated on coordination
movements and running at different speeds, with a particular focus on the way his body is
supported.
The Brazilian also did some work with the ball, although this was kept to the minimum and was never too strenuous for fear of provoking further damage.
Fans show their support
It was a huge thrill for the tourists enjoying the Camp Nou Tour to get the chance to see one of
the finest players in the world in the flesh. Huge crowds gathered to watch the Brazilian train,
and chanted his name in demonstration of their support. The Barça star, ready as ever to
acknowledge the Barça faithful, responded with his now famous surfers gesture.
