The Brazilian has not returned as he said he would a fortnight ago for pre-season training. Previously, he has been allowed to go to the United States and Brazil to put his personal affairs in order.

Arturo Villanueva, the club president, said that if Ronaldinho did not appear in the next week he would prefer "to take on someone else".

Club's sporting director Joaquin Beltran expressed that Ronaldinho did not enjoy special status because he scored three goals and set up one other in his nine games for Queretaro.
