It was good news for Ronaldinho’s fans as the star player is set to return to action to both his national side as well as his Italian club AC Milan. The news was conformed after Ronaldinho completed his first full practice session and passed his fitness test on Thursday.

It has been nearly a month since Ronaldinho played a full time match after injuring his heel last month. The last time his fans were able to have a glimpse of him in action was on February 15 when Milan lost 2-1 to city rivals Inter Milan.

Ronaldinho along with Beckham, who suffered a minor injury in his ankle during training, were expected to take the field on March 15 in the match against struggling Siena. However, Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of the third placed side, did not want to risk the striker’s injury and wanted him to recover completely. Ronaldinho took the field for a short period in the later part of the second half.

Though Ronaldinho’s fans were made to wait for his full return at Milan, the big news was that the Brazilian coach Dunga announced that both Ronaldinho and Kaka were in contention for their places at Brazil for the World Cup qualifiers. Dunga picked both the players, who were injured for a while, in his tentative squad. The squad featured other in-form players like Thiago Silva, Robinho and Alexandre Pato, making it an almost incredibly strong squad.

Although it was his repeated injuries that kept Ronaldinho out of Brazil’s recent matches against Portugal, Columbia and Venezuela, Dunga insisted that his place was hanging in balance in view of his poor form recently. Dunga also expressed that Ronaldinho should come out of his lean patch and improve his form to cement his place in the team.
