Barcelona winger Raphinha will undergo further tests on Friday following a minor injury sustained during a national team duty. The 29-year-old Brazilian international is set to return to Catalonia after giving supporters a brief injury scare. Starting in Brazil’s friendly against Australia, Raphinha was substituted at halftime, leading to confirmation of muscular discomfort in his thigh.
Despite the issue not being deemed serious, the Brazilian national team has removed him from the camp to facilitate his recovery. Raphinha informed Barcelona that he believed the problem to be minor but agreed to undergo tests to confirm it. He will rest on Thursday and arrive back in Barcelona on Friday for medical examinations at the Joan Gamper Sports City.
Although the current plan does not indicate any urgency, Barcelona maintains that there is no cause for alarm and no need to expedite the process.
