Injury has continued to rule out Ronaldinho from action.



The Brazilian's tendinitis still has some healing to do, and as such will make Ronnie unavailable for the Copa del Rey match against Sevilla in Seville on Wednesday night. Ronaldinho has had a somewhat rough and unstable seaon due to his injury, and has not really maximised his potential as the knee ailment has slowed down his magical twists and turns. The press have capitalised on this to bombard the ears of anyone who cares to listen, accussing Ronnie of not caring enough about his game or his careeer anymore. However, injury remains the chief cause of Ronaldinho's lower scale performance this season.


Frank Rijkaard may have to start with a similar team he had with the victory against Mallorca, though this time, the likes of Toure Yaya will be absent as the Ivorien has linked up with his national team ahead of the Afrcan Nations Cup in Ghana this month.


In a few days time, the Barca medical department is expected to confirm if Ronaldinho will be available for the La Liga match involving FC Barcelona and Murcia at Camp Nou on the 12th of January.
