Rijkaard: Ron working hard

Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard believes that Ronaldinho is capable of coming back fitter and stronger despite rumours of a move away from the club. Ronaldinho has reportedly been spending more time at the gym working hard on his fitness.

"He wants more than anyone to help and participate," said the Dutchman.

"All that interests me is that he feels good, he's able to work, and can give a lot to the team.

"Now he's working - that's the important thing. If he returns this week or next, that doesn't matter - what we want is for him to be well.

"He's given a lot to the club and the fans, and we hope that once again he'll show us what he can do as a player."
