Delayed Brazil stars out of Real and Barca squads

MADRID, Oct 19 (Reuters) - The late return from international duty of Brazil's Ronaldinho, Robinho and Julio Baptista has seen them left out of the Real Madrid and Barcelona squads for their Primera Liga fixtures on Saturday.

Forwards Robinho and Baptista missed Real's last training session on Friday, before the trip north to face Espanyol, due to flight delays the club said.

'I am not worried because we have sufficient players to face Espanyol,' Real coach Bernd Schuster told a news conference.

Brazil beat Ecuador 5-0 in a World Cup qualifier in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday.

Local media reports said Brazil players, including Ronaldinho and Robinho, staged a wild party until the early hours of Thursday morning after the game.

'From what I have heard, it made me laugh, but obviously it isn't something I like,' Schuster added.

'We know these things have to stop. We will speak to him (Robinho) and find his version of events and hopefully it isn't as it seems.'

Ronaldinho also missed Barca's last training session on Friday and was left out of the squad to play at Villarreal.

'I have only called up 18 players because Ronaldinho has yet to arrive,' said Barca coach Frank Rijkaard.

'I want to speak to him and see how he is. Perhaps we can travel with 19.'

However, after Ronaldinho arrived and spoke to Rijkaard a statement on the club website said the forward would not travel with the team.
