Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho has been ruled out for six weeks with a thigh injury, the club have confirmed.

The 28-year-old limped out of training on Thursday evening and also missed the session on Friday morning, and scans later that afternoon confirmed the Brazilian had suffered a pull in the adductor of his right thigh.

With just eight games left in the Primera Liga season, Ronaldinho will miss the bulk of the remaining matches.
