Raphinha is still recovering from the injury he suffered in the middle third of the biceps femoris in his right thigh. According to the Spanish press, the Barcelona player underwent an MRI on Thursday and is progressing well.

Out for La Liga and the Champions League

Raphinha’s injury occurred on September 25, during the match against Oviedo in La Liga, and the estimated recovery time was three weeks, a period that expires this Friday. However, the Brazilian has not yet trained with the group, which means he will not be available for the clash between Barcelona and Girona this Saturday.

For the match against Olympiacos in the Champions League, Raphinha should be an option on Hansi Flick’s bench.

Besides the number 11, Barcelona have other absences, the most recent being Robert Lewandowski, who suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh. Lamine Yamal, Joan García, Ter Stegen, Gavi, and Dani Olmo are also in the club’s Medical Department.
