Ronaldinho is back

Ronaldinho is ready to play for Barcelona on Sky Sports this weekend.

Brilliant Brazilian Ronaldinho is ready to kickstart his season in Barcelona's home clash with Sevilla at the weekend.

The South American is to line up at Camp Nou in Saturday's live Sky Sports encounter after missing the season opener against Racing Santander.

However, he is back to full fitness and scored a splendid free kick during the 1-1 draw with Germany in Brazil's midweek friendly.

Ronaldinho suffered an ankle injury against Espanyol that kept him out of the Racing fixture, but played an hour against Bolivia for his country, followed by 62 minutes in the Germany clash.

Coach Frank Rijkaard is cautious over his star turn's chances of playing as the forward did not train on Thursday, but the Catalan club will be hoping to see their idol return.

Team-mate Edmilson has declared his friend "ready to play", although the defender himself has an impending suspension that will rule him out of both the Sevila game and Tuesday's UEFA Champions League test with Celtic.
