Raphinha injury update: Barcelona forward released from national team camp; will miss India friendly

Barcelona forward Raphinha has been released from Brazil's national team camp due to a thigh injury sustained during international duty. Medical tests conducted on the player revealed only minor swelling and fluid buildup in his thigh, ruling out a significant muscle injury. The diagnosis provides a more optimistic outlook compared to initial concerns following Raphinha's substitution at halftime in Brazil's 4-2 win against Australia.

The player will not participate in Brazil's upcoming friendly against India and is expected to return to Barcelona for further recovery.
