Barcelona plans tailored training for Raphinha after World Cup muscle injury

FC Barcelona has created an individualized training programme for Brazilian forward Raphinha, who is still recovering from a muscle injury that limited his participation in the World Cup. The plan is designed to prevent further muscle problems and help him regain top‑level performance, and it is being overseen by head coach Hansi Flick, who has made his rehabilitation a pre‑season priority.

Raphinha is expected to rejoin the squad in England this week as the club prepares for three pre‑season friendlies against Birmingham, Nottingham Forest and Udinese scheduled between 31 July and 8 August. New signings Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi have also arrived to reinforce Barcelona’s attack.
