Raphinha's Injury Sparks Major Concern at Barcelona

Barcelona is growing increasingly concerned about the fitness of Raphinha. The Brazilian winger started in the friendly against France, played in the USA, but was substituted at halftime. Following the match, Carlo Ancelotti stated that the player had felt some discomfort. However, according to “Mundo Deportivo,” initial communications between Barcelona and the Brazilian medical staff suggest it is indeed an injury. The first tests are scheduled for today, which will provide a clearer picture of Raphinha's condition.

“Marca” further reports that the former Leeds player experienced pain in the biceps femoris muscle of his right leg. This is the same injury, compounded by two complications, that sidelined him for nearly two months earlier in the season.

Following the international break, Barcelona faces a crucial period, with three matches against Atlético Madrid and a derby clash with Espanyol. Consequently, the club's management and fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Raphinha's status.
