Frank Rijkaard has not named Brazilian international Ronaldinho in his squad for the clash with Villarreal on Saturday. Rijkaard revealed that he arrived late for training on Friday.

"He has yet to arrive. Above all, I would like to speak to him and evaluate his physical condition after so much travelling. If he feels good, we may travel with 19 players," Rijkaard said on Friday.

The Brazilian was absent from training on Friday and has been excluded from the party for Saturday's match. Giovani dos Santos and Bojan Krkic are favorites to take his place.
