Confirmed: Raphinha returns to Barcelona as preliminary injury timeline revealed | OneFootball

Over the last 24 hours, Barcelona supporters around the world have been sweating on the news of another Raphinha injury. The 29-year-old has started the 2026-27 season in spectacular form, although his momentum has been stopped somewhat with the news that he picked up a problem in Brazil’s 4-2 victory over Australia on Tuesday.

Raphinha suffered hamstring discomfort during the first half of Tuesday’s match, meaning he had to be replaced at half time. Tests have since confirmed that his issue is not serious, although Barcelona have been calling for him to return to the club with immediate effect, thus missing Brazil’s final friendly against India on Saturday.

Barcelona’s wishes have now been granted, but the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) now confirming that Raphinha has been withdrawn from Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for the remainder of the international break.

Raphinha doubtful for Barcelona match against Getafe

Raphinha becomes the second Barcelona player to withdrawn from national team duty after Eric Garcia (Spain). Attention now turns to whether he can feature for Hansi Flick’s side in their first match post-international break against Getafe, which takes place in 10 days’ time. More tests will be done to confirm his time on the sidelines, although Diario AS’ Javi Miguel has reported that the Brazilian will be out for exactly 10 days, meaning his availability is in doubt.

Barcelona will not take any risks with Raphinha’s recovery, so it would be no surprise if he missed the Getafe match in order to ensure that he is fully fit for the rest of the Catalans’ gruelling schedule across October and November.
