However, Robinho is only one of four players from the World Cup squad called up by the new manager for Brazil and their friendly game on the 11th August.
It should be interesting because he's expected back in Manchester on 5th August, which basically means it should really be a flying visit ! I guess he'll fly out a day later ( Friday evening ) like all usual commuters.

Amazing what people might do for 150,000 per week eh ? fly in , fly out . Have to stay in a first class hotel etc.

Mancini said: 'For me, Robinho is a good player. I spoke with him in January and I asked him if he wanted to stay. He said no.

'He wanted to go back to Brazil because of the World Cup. That was it, as far as I was concerned. He didn't want to be part of it so there was no point in me having him at the club.

'I told him, if he wanted to stay, it was not a problem - though it would be important that he worked and played for the team but it was his decision. He decided to go.'

Mancini added: 'I don't know about Robinho's situation because he doesn't want to come back. But Craig, at the moment, is working very well.'
