Ronaldinho does not train due to stomach inflammation © EuroFootball.com

The star of the Spanish championship leader, Brazilian Ronaldinho, did not train for the second consecutive day today because he is suffering from stomach pain. Club representatives say that the player has been diagnosed with gastritis, and doctors should visit Ronaldinho at home and conduct tests, but for now there is no talk of him missing the "El Clasico" duel with Real Madrid on Sunday. "Barca" also stated that another team leader, defender Carles Puyol, continues to work hard to recover from injury and play in Sunday's duel. Club representatives are very positive about the player's participation in "El Clasico." "Barcelona" is currently leading the Spanish championship by nine points ahead of second-placed Real, so a victory in these matches would be the final step towards the first championship title in six years.
