Brazil want Ronaldo to face Iceland on March 7th

First Published: Feb 21, 2002

Brazil want Ronaldo to face Iceland in a March 7th friendly.

The Internazionale star has been missing from action for a month with a thigh injury and only returned to training yesterday after an extended spell of recuperation in Rio but Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari wants the 25 year old striker in his squad next month.

Iceland replace Chile and Colombia who both backed out of the Cuiaba game in two weeks and have only played Brazil once before - a 3-0 defeat in 1994.

Ronaldo played in that game as a 17 year old.
