Raphinha ‘to be available’ for Getafe as tests ease Barcelona fears | OneFootball

Barcelona have been handed encouraging news after Raphinha underwent Friday morning tests on a right thigh issue. Sport reports the checks ruled out a more serious muscle problem, which will please coach Hansi Flick.

The winger developed muscular oedema while on Brazil duty, playing the full first friendly then the first half of the second during the current break.

Mundo Deportivo claims Raphinha will be available for Saturday’s La Liga match against Getafe.

He completed the examinations at the Joan Gamper sports city. Barcelona had expected the issue not to worsen based on the player’s own updates, though they sought confirmation through tests.

Flick’s staff will still manage him carefully over the coming week, with Barcelona due back in training on Monday.
