Ronaldinho, Messi, Larsson and Oleguer out for Sevilla match – Rodri is back
Ronaldinho will not play for FC Barcelona against Sevilla FC on Sunday evening. Henrik Larsson and Oleguer are also not included in the squad, while Rodri is back. Barca coach Frank Rijkaard named his final Barca squad without Ronaldinho who decided that he was not fit after training on Friday because of physical problems. According to the club's medical team "during training on Friday Ronaldinho suffered slight bruising in his right thigh and requires physiotherapy in order to recover and regain full muscle function. Therefore he will not be available for the next match".
Barça defender Oleguer Presas is still out due to a muscle injury and swedish international Larsson has been excluded due to lack of fitness after his recovery from his muscle injury. Barca B defender Rodri is back in the squad to replace Oleguer.
The full squad for the trip to Sevilla is:
Deco, Giuly, Valdés, Márquez, Gabri, Ezquerro, Iniesta, Jorquera, Puyol, Edmílson, Sylvinho, Belletti, Eto'o, Motta, Gio, Van Bommel, Rodri.
Xavi returned to full training with the rest of the squad on Friday after recovering from a knee ligament injury nearly 5 month ago.
