Barcelona set timeframe for Raphinha's return | OneFootball

Forward Raphinha, who suffered a right thigh injury during Brazil’s 2-1 friendly defeat to France in the United States, will be sidelined for approximately five weeks, Barcelona projected in a statement released this Friday.

The player has left the national team camp and will not face Croatia next Tuesday in Orlando, Florida.

If Barça’s estimate is confirmed, Raphinha will be unavailable to the Catalan side throughout April. In principle, that means missing four La Liga matches and, above all, the Champions League quarterfinal clash against Atlético de Madrid (April 8 and 14).

The forward “suffered a biceps femoris injury in his right thigh, as confirmed by tests carried out by the CBF after discomfort felt during the match between Brazil and France. Raphinha is returning to Barcelona to begin the appropriate treatment. The approximate recovery time is five weeks,” the Spanish club explained in a statement.

Raphinha was replaced at halftime against France by Luiz Henrique, in a match in which Roma right-back Wesley was also injured and left the field in the second half.
