Raphinha and Jon Aramburu sidelined with muscle injuries

Several professional footballers are facing injury setbacks following international duty.

Barcelona midfielder Raphinha will miss upcoming matches against Getafe in LaLiga and Galatasaray in the Champions League. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed the Brazilian player is dealing with a muscle edema in his right thigh. Flick noted the need for caution to prevent recurrence, citing Raphinha’s injury history from the previous season.

Real Sociedad defender Jon Aramburu has also sustained a muscle injury in his right soleus during training. The Venezuelan player is expected to be sidelined for approximately two to three weeks. This injury follows a period of high activity where Aramburu played 180 minutes for the Venezuelan national team during the recent international break.
