Injury Update: Raphinha’s Setback for Barcelona

There is disappointing news for FC Barcelona as Brazilian winger Raphinha continues to struggle with his recovery from injury.

Raphinha’s Ongoing Recovery Issues

During Friday’s training at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper, Raphinha was absent from the session, indicating a regression in his recovery from a biceps femoris strain in his right leg that he sustained back in September. Reports from Sport suggest that although Raphinha was present at the training ground, he left before the practice commenced, which effectively rules him out for the upcoming trip to Madrid. He has not participated in any matches for Barcelona in the past month.

Positive Developments for Other Players

In contrast to Raphinha’s condition, defender Jules Kounde missed training due to discomfort, but he still has a possibility of being fit for the match against Real Madrid. On a brighter note, both Ferran Torres and Frenkie de Jong are likely to feature in the upcoming game. Torres participated in the match against Olympiacos, although he did not play any minutes, while De Jong has recovered from his recent gastroenteritis.
