Following his departure from the Brazil squad due to a “minor muscle oedema” sustained during a friendly against Australia, Raphinha underwent medical examinations at FC Barcelona’s Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. While tests ruled out a serious injury, the club opted for a cautious approach to his recovery, sidelining him for matches against Getafe and Galatasaray to prevent a recurrence of his previous hamstring issues.

Recently, Raphinha has returned to collective training. Despite this progress, his availability for the upcoming La Liga match against Real Betis remains uncertain, as some reports suggest he may still be sidelined to ensure full fitness. 

Manager Hansi Flick is reportedly prioritizing Raphinha’s long-term availability for high-stakes fixtures, specifically the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain and El Clásico against Real Madrid. Additionally, Frenkie de Jong has rejoined collective training sessions as the team prepares for its upcoming schedule.
