Rijkaard explains Puyol omissionBarcelona manager Frank Rijkaard has revealed that it was his decision to leave Spain international Carles Puyol out of the starting line-up against Osasuna and was not because the star was injured.
Rijkaard said: "There was no problem with Puyol. He is not injured.
"It is part of a rotation policy to give all players their time on the pitch.
"He remains being club captain."
