FC Barcelona: Raphinha injured with Brazil

29.09.26 FT Friendly International

Australia

Brazil

In excellent form at the start of the season, Raphinha has just been sidelined by an injury sustained with Brazil on Tuesday.

Terrible news for Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona. A major concern for Raphinha. The Brazilian forward, who has been in sensational form for his club this season (14 goals and 3 assists in 8 matches), was replaced at half-time in the friendly against Australia.

🚨⚠️ Raphinha has been subbed off due to muscle discomfort, CBF has officially confirmed.

This came just a few minutes after he had equalised from the penalty spot. According to the Brazilian Football Confederation, the former Rennes player is suffering from muscle discomfort. FC Barcelona are holding their breath over their captain. More news is expected in the coming hours.

✨🇧🇷 Raphinha scores for Brazil, at least a goal contribution in every game this season for club and country.
