Raphinha
April 2026

Barcelona have been hit by another injury problem after Raphinha suffered a fresh hamstring setback on Brazil duty, leaving Hansi Flick concerned before crucial matches. The winger is expected to miss major games, with the repeated nature of the injury adding to the damage for both player and club. Flick said Raphinha was emotionally affected by the latest setback, so Barcelona allowed him to stay briefly in Brazil with family support before returning to continue rehabilitation. The club hope the break helps him recover mentally as well as physically after another frustrating muscle problem.
