LONDON, England -- Ronaldinho has recovered from injury and will play for Brazil in their friendly international against Wales in London on Tuesday.

Brazil meet Wales at White Hart Lane in their second match in London in two days following an exciting 3-0 win over Argentina at the Emirates stadium on Sunday.

"Ronaldinho was disappointed not to be able to feature in the match against Argentina yesterday, but I am pleased to announce that he is now fit and will play in tomorrow night's match against Wales," coach Dunga said in a statement.

FIFA's World Player of the Year has recovered from a back injury he suffered in training with his club Barcelona last week.

"The Brazil football team has come to London -- one of the footballing capitals of the world -- to play great football, and Ronaldinho wants to be a part of that and will start tomorrow," Dunga said.
