Eto`o returns to Barcelona squad, Ronaldinho injured (05.02.2007)
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) - Samuel Eto`o won his first call-up since September for Barcelona`s game at Osasuna, while Ronaldinho was ruled out Saturday through injury.
Eto`o, who tore and displaced the meniscus in his right knee during a Champions League match at Werder Bremen on Sept. 27, was included in a 18-man squad for Sunday`s match.
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard said he had picked Eto`o to improve the team`s chances and its team spirit.
"It`s too early for a full match but he`s been given the all clear so he`s ready to play. Some minutes, half an hour. There are plenty of possibilities," Rijkaard was quoted as saying by Europa Press news agency.
The return of the Cameroon striker is a
major boost for Barcelona, coming less than three weeks before its Champions League second round game against Liverpool at Camp Nou on Feb. 21.
Barcelona has been inconsistent without Eto`o, who was the Spanish league`s top scorer last season with 26 goals.
The European champions only squeezed into the knockout round of the Champions League, while in the league it has won nine out of 15 games. Barcelona holds a one-point lead in the standings.
Ronaldinho hasn`t recovered an injured right knee and ankle sustained in Barcelona`s 1-0 defeat in a Copa del Rey quarter-final first leg on Wednesday.
The Brazil forward is also doubtful for his country`s friendly with Portugal in London on Tuesday.
