## Key points

- Ronaldinho will start for Ravenna against Forli on Sunday.
- It will be his first competitive match in over a decade.
- He may take a penalty as he nears 300 professional goals.

## Summary

Ronaldinho is set to start his first competitive match in more than a decade when Ravenna face local rivals Forli on Sunday. The 46-year-old’s return is a major moment for fans and could give the Brazilian great a chance to score once more.

Ronaldinho joined the Italian third-tier club in June and took a stake in it, but had not played since his final appearance for Fluminense in 2015. Ravenna manager Andrea Mandorlini said he would start among the team’s three forwards, though they would decide together how long he plays. He will have had only one training session with his team-mates, and could take a penalty as he approaches 300 professional goals.
