Something to cheer about in Camp Nou as Ronaldinho and Marquez return from injury.


Ronaldinho was the big surprise inclusion as FC Barcelona named the squad to face VfB Stuttgart in the Tuesday's Champions League clash in Stuttgart. The Brazilian was injured with a muscle strain, and has missed Barca's last three matches. Mexican star, Rafa Marquez, who has been in spectacular form this season, was also included in the team for Germany. Marquez missed Barca's last match against Levante due to a slight injury he received. Despite injury worries, Barca have been winning all their recent matches, but the latest injuries to Toure Yaya and Milito would have sunk feelings at camp Nou, had it not been for the boost received from the return of Ronaldinho and now Rafa Marquez. Toure Yaya, Gianluca Zambrotta, Samuel Eto'o, Edmílson and Gabi Milito, were not present at training on Sunday. Milito was however named in the squad to pay Stuttgart, while further tests on the Argentine will continue.


The 19-man squad for the trip to play Stuttgart includes:


Valdés, Jorquera, Sylvinho, Abidal, Puyol, Milito, Oleguer, Thuram, Márquez, Xavi, Iniesta, Deco, Ronaldinho, Gudjohnsen, Marc Crosas, Bojan, Giovani, Messi, Henry.


The match against Stuttgart takes place on Tuesday, 2nd October. The kick-off time is 20:45 hours ( GMT + 1 )
