Although Barcelona fans were optimistic about the Brazilian striker's return before El Clásico and his participation in this important match, it seems too early to talk about this matter. It appears the Brazilian winger will need more time to return, and no date has been confirmed for his return.

Press reports, most notably from Diario Sport, revealed that the 28-year-old Brazilian star left today's training session just two days before El Clásico, meaning his participation in El Clásico is still uncertain.

Raphinha's prospects of starting in El Clásico appear to have suffered a significant blow following an unexpected training ground incident. According to reports, the player made a fleeting visit to the session but left before it officially commenced.

His failure to participate in this crucial penultimate workout under Hansi Flick strongly suggests he has been ruled out of contention for a key role, effectively confirming he will not be named in the starting lineup.
