Specific plan for Ronaldinho’s recovery

Starting this Friday Ronaldinho will begin a specific work plan to recover his best physical condition. In the last few days the Barça player has been suffering from tonsillitis condition that needed treatment with antibiotics.

The Brazilian is one of the Barça players who have made most appearances this season. That fact, together with the tonsillitis he has been suffering from recently has prompted the technical staff and the physical trainers to draw up a work plan involving morning and afternoon sessions that will combine work in the gym with work on the pitch at Camp Nou.

The player will return to the main group once he is back in good shape, however the physical trainers have already planned specific sessions up until next Thursday. As a result Ronaldinho will miss this Sunday’s league match with Mallorca and the Copa del Rey clash with Getafe on Wednesday.

His statistics

This season Ronaldinho has played in 25 league games in which he has scored 17 goals. He also played in the two legs of the Spanish Supercup, the European Supercup and the World Club Championship in which he also scored. He made three appearances in the Copa del Rey and eight in the Champions League where he scored twice. Overall the Brazilian has played a grand total of 41 games and has scored 20 goals with FC Barcelona. That does not include his appearances with the Brazilian national team.
