Trouble In Barca Camp

Bad news if you are a Spanish fan; but good news if you are an English fan. Latest news reported from Nou Camp, Barcelona, that Ronaldinho is out for the rest of the season.
Barcelona and Brazilian forward Ronaldinho will miss the rest of the season after tearing a muscle in his right leg. The former World Player of the Year has been dogged by injury and fitness problems this season, starting only 13 of his team’s 30 league games so far. It will be impossible for him to face Cristiano Ronaldo, the current top scorer in the UEFA Champion League.
His absence only enhances Manchester United’s chance to be this season’s Champion League finalist. In addition to Ronaldinho’s absence, Deco was also recently back from calf injury, after being sidelined for the past 6 weeks.
The only positive area that Barcelona can draw from his team is perhaps the inspirational Argentine midfielder Lionel Messi, who hopes to be back in action in two weeks’ time. The young prodigy should be on time to face Manchester United in the first leg of the crash, should both teams progress to the next stage.
