9 Oct
Summary
- Raphinha sidelined for two games due to a thigh injury.
- Injury sustained during Brazil's match on September 29.
- Barcelona leads La Liga by five points after seven wins.
Barcelona will be without forward Raphinha for their upcoming two matches due to a thigh injury. Head coach Hansi Flick stated the Brazilian requires recovery time, although he emphasized the injury is minor. Raphinha picked up the issue during Brazil's match against Australia on September 29 and has since withdrawn from international duty.
This latest setback marks another interruption for the 29-year-old, who has a history of muscular problems. Flick noted Raphinha's past fitness difficulties, including three issues in the same area last season. Despite these concerns, Barcelona leads La Liga by five points, having secured victory in their first seven games. The club anticipates Raphinha's smooth recovery ahead of their crucial Clasico match against Real Madrid on October 25. Coach Flick also provided a positive update on Frenkie de Jong, who is nearing a return.
