AC Milan boss Leonardo tightlipped on Ronaldinho status

AC Milan coach Leonardo is tight-lipped on the performance of Ronaldinho.

Leonardo said: "There is no need to pass judgment on Ronaldinho before and after every game. He is a resource for this squad, just like all the others. It is only normal to rotate the squad when playing three times a week."

Dinho skipped training due to a mild cold and is not expected to feature against relegation battlers Bologna.

"I honestly don't know how he's doing and he went home yesterday straight after the team pictures. We have an honest rapport and talk about everything. I realise he's a public figure and so when he goes out late at night, it attracts attention from the media, but we should be focusing on the player.

"Sometimes he struggles on the field to find space and move around, it's only natural a Ballon d'Or winner should get so much attention."
