The Brazilian sustained a hamstring injury against France.
After staying a few days in Brazil with his family due to a hamstring injury he suffered during an international friendly against France, Raphinha has reportedly returned to FC Barcelona.
During the game in the USA, which resulted in a 2-1 loss for the Selecao, the Barcelona winger sustained a hamstring injury on his right leg.
According to preliminary evaluations that suggested a five-week recuperation period, he still has about a month left before he can resume training.
The Brazilian was going through a trying period after the injury blow. Club manager Hansi Flick acknowledged over the weekend that he had permitted the player to spend time with family.
Raphinha returns to Barcelona following injury
The 29-year-old winger has returned to Catalonia after spending time with family following an emotional setback.
Raphinha went straight to the Barça training facilities to begin his recuperation under the guidance of the medical team after landing at a VIP aeroplane terminal.
One of the team’s captains, Raphinha, is a significant absence at this pivotal point in the season. Raphinha’s availability for the next El Clásico against Real Madrid, which is set for May 10 at Spotify Camp Nou, is the goal.
In the chase for the LaLiga championship, this game could be crucial, and if Barcelona win their remaining games, it could win them the championship.
But as Barcelona get ready for important games like the league rivalry against RCD Espanyol and the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match against Atletico Madrid, they will miss a big player of the team for these matches.
Which injury has Raphinha sustained?
Hamstring injury.
How long will he be out?
He will be out for a minimum of 4 weeks, up to 5 weeks.
