Overview
- Barcelona announced a right biceps femoris hamstring injury for Raphinha and estimated a layoff of around three weeks.
- Hansi Flick previously said he expected the winger to be available for Real Madrid after promising progress in training.
- Journalist Gerard Romero reported Raphinha felt discomfort on Thursday, could not complete the session, and did not join group training on Friday.
- Spanish outlets now indicate he is unlikely to feature at the Santiago Bernabéu, though no official ruling out has been issued.
- His possible absence would be significant after a two-goal display against Olympiacos and given Barcelona’s wider fitness concerns, including Robert Lewandowski’s.
