La Liga giants Barcelona have been hit with a potential blow concerning their squad, following developments during Thursday’s highly anticipated international friendly between France and Brazil.
During the match, Barcelona’s Raphinha featured prominently in a star-studded Brazilian attack. However, the former Leeds United player was unable to continue past halftime and did not emerge for the second period.
Reports indicate that Raphinha was substituted due to a complaint of muscle pain in his right thigh. This development raises immediate concerns for the Catalan club regarding the fitness of their explosive winger.
The severity of Raphinha’s injury is currently unknown, and it is yet to be determined if he faces any significant time on the sidelines. The player is expected to undergo comprehensive medical scans and tests in the coming days, the results of which will be crucial in formulating a recovery strategy and setting a timeline for his return.
