Barcelona: Raphinha out against Getafe

Raphinha will not be available against Getafe this weekend for the resumption of La Liga. This follows his injury with Brazil during the international break.

After picking up a knock to his right leg during Brazil's 4-2 win over Australia during the international break, Raphinha has not suffered a serious injury. However, Barcelona does not want to take any risks with its forward. According to reports from the daily Sport, the Brazilian is not expected to take part in the next league match against Getafe on Saturday.

Hansi Flick also announced that Raphinha would not play in the Champions League against Galatasaray either. “The examinations revealed something; it is not an injury, but we have to be careful because he had three injuries last year, and we need to take care of him. He will not be available tomorrow or against Galatasaray,” the German coach said at a press conference.
