Tendonitis rules Ronaldinho out of 2008 La Liga opener.


Ronaldinho will not be present when FC Barcelona take on Real Mallorca in the Blaugrana's first La Liga match of 2008. Ronnie is absent due to tendonitis on his left knee. Barca's team Doctor, Pruna, confirmed the injury on the Brazilian ace and has commenced specific treatment to ensure Ronaldinho is back in action as soon as posible.


Another Brazilian Edmilson is back in the team after a long lay off, and so has Thierry Henry, who was also given a medical break in order to fully recover from his back pain.


The full squad to face Mallorca includes:


Goalkeepers: Valdes, Oier.


Defenders: Zambrotta, Puyol, Milito, Abidal, Marquez, Thuram.


Midfielders: Xavi, Toure, Iniesta, Edmilson, Deco.


Attackers: Gudjohnsen, Eto'o, Henry, Bojan, Giovani.


The match takes place at 20:00 hours local time in RCD Mallorca's Estadi.

Can you post the likely formation please... 4-4-2 with Henry and Eto starting?

It's most likely going to be 4-4-2. We look forward to having Henry and Eto'o starting together for the first time.

Barca may also choose to adopt a 4-4-3 away formation, in which case Eto'o and Henry will be joined by an attack conscious striker / attacking midfielder.
