Overview
- Raphinha reported back to Barcelona on Monday after a week in Brazil to resume treatment for a right hamstring strain.
- He suffered the injury with Brazil in a USA friendly against France and left at half-time with an initial recovery estimate of about five weeks.
- Reports set May 10’s El Clásico at Camp Nou as the comeback target, with Fabrizio Romano saying he faces about four more weeks out.
- Hansi Flick allowed the winger to spend several days with family to reset mentally before continuing rehab under the club’s medical staff.
- A five-week timeline would rule him out of both Champions League quarter-final legs against Atlético Madrid and could keep him out of a semi-final first leg if Barcelona advance.
